Intruder Model for Generating Attack Scenarios in Computer Systems

Abstract

In this paper, a new technique for automatic generation of complex intruder attacks is proposed. In this approach, the generation of attack scenarios is guided by an intruder strategy. Thus, only attack scenarios achieving the intruder objectives are generated. Therefore, the generated attack graph do not contain redundant nodes or edges, and enables a network administrator to have a better visualisation and apprehension of different attack scenarios for a computer network. In this way, our approach is made as a candidate for increasing accuracy of the attack graph generated based on the use of the intruder strategy.
