Cyber Attack Simulator
A browser‑based interactive simulation of cyber attacks inspired by real‑world Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) and ransomware behaviour. This HTML‑only simulator runs directly in the browser (no backend), allowing users to explore, visualize, and experiment with cyber‑attack scenarios for learning, demonstration, or awareness purposes.
🚀 Project Overview
This Cyber Attack Simulator presents simulated cyber threats such as ransomware‑style attack stages and adversarial behaviours that demonstrate typical exploit progression in a controlled environment. It is client‑side only and requires no server configuration — just open the HTML file to run.
The simulator is ideal for:
Cybersecurity students and enthusiasts.
Security awareness demonstrations.
Understanding attack lifecycle concepts.
Safe experimentation with web‑based cyber‑attack logic.
🔒 IMPORTANT: This simulator is for educational use only. It is not intended for real‑world offensive use, penetration testing against live systems, or malware execution in production environments.
📁 Included Files
cyber-attack-simulator.html — The main simulation interface (browser executable).
(Future additions) Potential supporting assets, documentation, or scenario modules.
📌 How to Use 🧠 Browser
Clone or download the repository:
git clone https://github.com/subhankarbhndr211/cyber-attack-simulator.git
Open the file cyber-attack-simulator.html in your browser (modern browser recommended).
Interact with the simulation controls and visual elements to explore attack flows.
No installation, backend, or database required — runs entirely in the browser.
🔍 What It Simulates
The simulator focuses on educating about core cyber‑attack concepts (e.g., reconnaissance, exploitation, lateral movement, payload execution). It demonstrates abstracted behaviours in a safe sandboxed environment without connecting to any live systems.
Such simulation helps illustrate how attackers progress through stages of an attack chain — similar in principle to broader cybersecurity simulation tools used for training and defensive readiness.
