Abstract
In this work, we present a learning-based approach to analysis cyberspace security configuration. Unlike prior methods, our approach has the ability to learn from past experience and improve over time. In particular, as we train over a greater number of agents as attackers, our method becomes better at discovering hidden attack paths for previously methods, especially in multi-domain cyberspace. To achieve these results, we pose discovering attack paths as a Reinforcement Learning (RL) problem and train an agent to discover multi-domain cyberspace attack paths. To enable our RL policy to discover more hidden attack paths and shorter attack paths, we ground representation introduction an multi-domain action select module in RL. Our objective is to discover more hidden attack paths and shorter attack paths by our proposed method, to analysis the weakness of cyberspace security configuration. At last, we designed a simulated cyberspace experimental environment to verify our proposed method, the experimental results show that our method can discover more hidden multi-domain attack paths and shorter attack paths than existing baseline methods.
