Traditional penetration testing relies on the domain expert knowledge and requires considerable human effort all of which incurs a high cost. In this paper, we propose an automated penetration testing approach based on the belief-desire-intention (BDI) agent model, which is central in the research on agent-based processing in that it deals interactively with dynamic, uncertain and complex environments. Penetration testing actions are defined as a series of BDI plans and the BDI reasoning cycle is used to represent the penetration testing process. The model is extensible and new plans can be added, once they have been elicited from the human experts. We report on the results of testing of proof of concept BDI-based penetration testing tool in the simulated environment. |
