In the last years critical infrastructures have become highly dependent on the information technologies and exposed to cyberattacks. Because the effects of the attacks can be detrimental, it is crucial to comprehensively asses the security of the infrastructures' information systems. This chapter describes MAlSim - the simulator of malicious software based on software agents, developed for the needs of a testbed for critical infrastructures security. The authors explain the choice of agent paradigm for the development of the toolkit, present main design decisions, overview changes to the project introduced during the implementation, and provide the details of the completed project followed by a brief description of the application of MAlSim to security evaluation of a power plant. The chapter concludes with the discussion of the perspectives for the future of agent technology based on the experiences which came during the course of the project.
