This paper presents a tool for assessment of security attributes and vulnerabilities in
computer networks. The tool generates attack graphs (Phillips and Swiler, 1998). Each node …

This paper presents a graph-based approach to network vulnerability analysis. The method
is flexible, allowing analysis of attacks from both outside and inside the network. It can …

This report reviews past research papers that describe how to construct attack graphs, how
to use them to improve security of computer networks, and how to use them to analyze alerts …

This report presents a graph-based approach to network vulnerability analysis. The method
is flexible, allowing analysis of attacks from both outside and inside the network. It can …

Attack graphs are a valuable tool to network defenders, illustrating paths an attacker can use
to gain access to a targeted network. Defenders can then focus their efforts on patching the …

As computer networks are emerging in everyday life, network security has become an
important issue. Simultaneously, attacks are becoming more sophisticated, making the …

In measuring the overall security of a network, a crucial issue is to correctly compose the
measure of individual components. Incorrect compositions may lead to misleading results …

A majority of attacks on computer systems result from a combination of vulnerabilities
exploited by an intruder to break into the system. An Attack Graph is a general formalism …

Attack graphs model possible paths that a potential attacker can use to intrude into a target
network. They can be used in determining both proactive and reactive security measures …

Attack graphs enable computation of important network security metrics by revealing
potential attack paths an adversary could use to gain control of network assets. This paper …
