SmartGrid Project: SDN Security & Mitigation Dashboard

Project Progress Report & Interface Mock-ups

This dashboard serves as the user interface for the SmartGrid Security Testbed, designed to visualize the detection and mitigation of cyber-attacks on Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). It integrates with the Distributed SDN module (ONOS/Atomix), the TShark-based Detection module, and the LLM Analysis module (Meta Llama 3.1 405B on AWS Bedrock).

Architecture Overview

The solution is comprised of three core components visualized in this dashboard:

1. Distributed SDN Module:

   • Hybrid Star-Mesh topology using 3 ONOS controllers.
   • Atomix for state synchronization and high availability.
   • OpenFlow switches managing traffic for outstations.

2. Detection Module:

   • TShark integration for capturing TCP + DNP3 packets.
   • Identifies malicious Function Code 18 (STOP) commands.
   • Lateral movement attack simulation (Attacker IP: 10.0.0.9, Victim IP: 10.0.0.5).

3. LLM Analysis & Automated Mitigation:

   • Immediate: Rule-based flow updates to block specific IPs.
   • Long-term: AWS Bedrock (Llama 3.1) analysis of attack logs for context-aware policy generation.

Local Development Setup

To run the dashboard UI locally:

1. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

2. Run Development Server:

   npm run dev

3. Build for Production:

   npm run build

Technology Stack

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Visualization: SVG (Topology), Lucide React (Icons)
• Backend Integration (Mocked): JSON payloads from attack_detection.py and AWS Lambda/Bedrock logs.
