Abstract	Exploit attacks have been one of the major threats to computer network systems, the damage of which has been extensively studied and numerous countermeasures have been proposed to defend against them. In this work, we propose a multiobjective optimization framework to facilitate evaluation of network security under exploit attacks. Our approach explores a promising avenue of integrating attack graph methodology to evaluate network security. In particular, we innovatively utilize attack graph based security metrics to model exploit attacks and dynamically measure security risk under these attacks. Then a multiobjective problem is formulated to maximize network exploitability and security impact under feasible exploit compositions. Furthermore, an artificial immune algorithm is employed to solve the formulated problem. We conduct a series of simulation experiments on hypothetical network models to testify the performance of proposed mechanism. Simulation results show that our approach can innovatively solve the security evaluation problem under multiple decision variables with feasibility and effectiveness.
