1. A method for simulating a cyber-physical system, wherein the method is performed at one or more hardware processors configured to execute one or more programs stored in a memory of a computing system, the method comprising:

  • receiving a definition of a scope of a simulation;

    generating a mapping of a cyber simulation model to a control system simulation model,wherein the cyber simulation model is configured to model a software and hardware architecture of the cyber-physical system; and

    wherein the control system simulation model is configured to model a physical behavior of the cyber-physical system;

    selecting one or more fault models, wherein the selected fault models are based on the received definition of the scope of the simulation;

    generating one or more attack plans for the cyber simulation model, wherein the one or more attack plans are based on the selected one or more fault models;

    generating one or more attack hooks for the control system simulation model, wherein the one or more attack hooks are based on the generated mapping of the cyber simulation model to the control system model and based on the generated one or more attack packs for the cyber simulation model;

    modifying the control system simulation model to include the one or more generated attack hooks; and

    executing a simulation on the modified control system simulation model.
