Cisco Packet Tracer (part of Cisco Networking Academy) vs. CyberBattleSim

Cisco Packet Tracer is a very good option for technical educational institutes interested in the field of networking. Instead of setting up a real lab with real equipment that costs thousands of dollars, it can be dispensed with, and using Cisco Packet Tracer as a very good alternative, trainees can practice any time any where.

Cyberbattle SIm is actually a simulation application with the implementation of Python Based open AI to implement automated cyber agents and to deploy them on stimulating environments and networks with vulnerabilities and attack vectors to analyze and implement the learnings.

Incentivized

• Real time data monitoring
• Packet analysis
• Network geolocation design

Incentivized

• Python Based open AI.
• Uses reinforcement Algorithms for Training Purpose to Agents.
• Simulation environment sets different for Attacker and Defender.

Incentivized

• CLI, It would be great if we can use multiple tapes in a single window.
• It is limited to Cisco products only, there is no integration with other companies.
• Improve UI customisation and writing settings.

Incentivized

• Needs to create various nodes on the network and have to indicate that services are running, it might be good if automated.
• I think everything is perfect, teaches us a lot.

As compared to the battles with AttackIQ both applications are stable and stimulate the work given, However, while using the attackIQ the architect can automate the testing process and engineering team and fill the gaps. And it offers robust security through continuous, automated security control validation.

Incentivized

• Reduce the cost of expenditures
• Increase flexibility

Incentivized

• Nice Implication for learning.
• Open source application so no Investment is applicable.
• Helps to understand and analyse the networks security for the device.
• Trigger alerts in XDr or SIEM systems.
