This is a monte carlo simulation script written in JavaScript for use with the REST API for verisdb-analyst, a MapReduce tool for the vz-risk/vcdb cybersecurity incident dataset.
Installation is by npm by running:
npm install --save vcdb-monte-carlo
To use this tool, ensure that verisdb-analyst is running in the background and simply run the following command:
>node monte.js [number of times to run simulation]
You must ensure that an environment variable VERIS is set for your verisdb-analyst application URL, for example:
export VERIS="http://127.0.0.1/"
If run successfully, data.json will be output to the same directory as monte.js, containing resultant data.
This simulation requires considerable computing power to do quickly, so on a standard personal computer this will be slow. You should ensure that you edit vcdbFactory.js in the factories folder of verisdb-analyst so that this.bypass = 1.
