One of the most fundamental tasks for an AICA agent will be to manipulate information that an adversary can observe, either about a network or the AICA agent itself. This includes taking actions to conceal or camouflage the agent or specific network assets and taking actions to deceive or otherwise affect the beliefs of an adversary conducting reco...

Cyber attackers often use passive reconnaissance to collect information about target networks. This technique can be used to identify systems and plan attacks, making it an increasingly challenging task for security analysts to detect. Adversaries can recover statistical information from the information collected from compromised nodes, revealing t...
