The operations include virtually linking the physical environment and a virtual environment, inputting at least one document comprising supporting software and a scenario instruction set, generating a scenario according to the scenario instruction set, simulating the scenario, and displaying simulation results of the simulated scenario.

Abstract: A method for pre-positioning a coaxial sample and sheath combination includes calculating a load shape profile including a plurality of layers of substantially equal volume. The calculated load shape profile is incrementally divided into cross-sectional slices at a first set of distance coordinates along a first axis. Each cross-sectional slice transects the plurality of layers. A sample includes a number of objects residing in solution. A sample chamber is loaded with the sample by incrementally dispensing the sample in a plurality of portions along a vertical axis divided into a second set of distance coordinates proportional to the first set of distance coordinates, where each portion has a volume proportional to the cross-sectional slice at the first distance coordinate nearest in value to the second distance coordinate.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for utilizing software defined networking for a multiple operating system rotational environment, executing on a computing device are disclosed. Some implementations may: receive a request from a user device; modify a packet of the request with a destination address and a port of a first server; forward the modified packet of the request to a controller server; receive a flow modification from the controller server based on the modified packet; and modify further received packets from the user device based on the received flow modification.

Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing stream splitting Moving Target Defense (MTD) to provide enhanced computer system communication system security by splitting a data stream in to a plurality of paths is described. In some implementations, Stream splitting MTD, involves splitting a single data stream (e.g., TCP stream) into a plurality of discrete units, then sending and receiving those discrete units from and to different (ideally geographically disparate) receiving servers, with the stream being reassembled on the receiving end. The plurality of discrete units of data include resequencing data. The size of each discrete unit may vary depending on the specific implementation, even down to small unit sizes (e.g., a single packet).

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a multiple operating system rotation environment (“MORE”) moving target defense (“MTD”) computing system are described. The MORE-MTD system provides enhanced computer system security through a rotation of multiple operating systems. The MORE-MTD system increases attacker uncertainty, increases the cost of attacking the system, reduces the likelihood of an attacker locating a vulnerability, and reduces the exposure time of any located vulnerability. The MORE-MTD environment is effectuated by rotation of the operating systems at a given interval. The rotating operating systems create a consistently changing attack surface for remote attackers.
