“…Numerous ideas can be taken forward from this research for future experimentation. First, the study can be replicated using the real-time network simulators such as GNS3 (Hassine and Hamou-Lhadj, 2014 ) and OMNeT++ (Varga and Hornig, 2008 ). It might be interesting to compare the results of real-time network simulation environments and HackIT environment in investigating the influence of subnetting and port-hardening on human decision during a cyber-attack.…”

Prior research in cyber deception has investigated the effectiveness of the timing of deception on human decisions using simulation tools. However, there exists a gap in the literature on how the availability of subnets and port-hardening influence human decisions to attack a system. We tested the influence of subnets and port-hardening on human attack decisions in a simulated environment using the HackIT tool. Availability of subnets (present/absent) within a network and port-hardening (easy-to-attack/hard-to-attack) were varied across four between-subject conditions (N = 30 in each condition): with-subnet with easy-to-attack, with-subnet with hard-to-attack, without-subnet with easy-to-attack, and without-subnet with hard-to-attack. In with-subnet conditions, 40 systems were connected in a hybrid topology network with ten subnets connected linearly, and each subnet contained four connected systems. In without-subnet conditions, all 40 systems were connected in a bus topology. In hard-to-attack (easy-to-attack) conditions, the probabilities of successfully attacking real systems and honeypots were kept low (high) and high (low), respectively. In an experiment, human participants were randomly assigned to one of the four conditions to attack as many real systems as possible and steal credit card information. Results revealed a significant decrease in the proportion of real system attacks in the availability of subnetting and port hardening within the network. Also, more honeypots were attacked in with-subnet conditions than without-subnet conditions. Moreover, a significantly lower proportion of real systems were attacked in the port-hardened condition. This research highlights the implications of subnetting and port-hardening with honeypots to reduce real system attacks. These findings are relevant in developing advanced intrusion detection systems trained on hackers' behavior.

4G is the fastest developing system in the history of mobile communication networks. Network connectivity is paramount for all kinds of big enterprises. 4G not only provides super-fast connectivity to millions of users, but can also act as an enterprise network connectivity enabler and it has inherent advantages such as higher bandwidth, low latency, higher spectrum efficiency along with backward compatibility and future proofing. The design of the 4G based Long Term Evolution physical network provides the required flexibility for optimization during the development phase. In this paper LTE Network related supporting simulation tools is presented to demonstrate the need of Hardware co-simulation of the LTE system. After the feasibility analysis, the importance of the model is to be ported Field Programmable Gate Array platform is examined in survey in detail with the supporting inferences along with the comparison of different wireless network simulators suitable for LTE.
