Attack Graph Based Evaluation of Network Security
نویسندگان
چکیده
The perspective directions in evaluating network security are simulating possible malefactor’s actions, building the representation of these actions as attack graphs (trees, nets), the subsequent checking of various properties of these graphs, and determining security metrics which can explain possible ways to increase security level. The paper suggests a new approach to security evaluation based on comprehensive simulation of malefactor’s actions, construction of attack graphs and computation of different security metrics. The approach is intended for using both at design and exploitation stages of computer networks. The implemented software system is described, and the examples of experiments for analysis of network security level are considered.

Real-Time intrusion detection alert correlation and attack scenario extraction based on the prerequisite consequence approach
Alert correlation systems attempt to discover the relations among alerts produced by one or more intrusion detection systems to determine the attack scenarios and their main motivations. In this paper a new IDS alert correlation method is proposed that can be used to detect attack scenarios in real-time. The proposed method is based on a causal approach due to the strength of causal methods in ...
متن کاملAnalyzing Network Security using Malefactor Action Graphs
The approach to network security analysis is suggested. It is based on simulation of malefactor’s behavior, generating attack graph and calculating different security metrics. The graph represents all possible attack scenarios taking into account network configuration, security policy, malefactor’s location, knowledge level and strategy. The security metrics describe computer network security a...
متن کاملOn the computational complexity of finding a minimal basis for the guess and determine attack
Guess-and-determine attack is one of the general attacks on stream ciphers. It is a common cryptanalysis tool for evaluating security of stream ciphers. The effectiveness of this attack is based on the number of unknown bits which will be guessed by the attacker to break the cryptosystem. In this work, we present a relation between the minimum numbers of the guessed bits and uniquely restricted...

In this paper, we discussed the development of Attack Graph-Based Security Metrics that will be used to evaluate the security of a network. Attack Graph-Based Security Metrics recently used simultaneously to form a Multiple Attack Graph-Based Security Metrics. Furthermore, Multiple Attack Graph-Based Security Metrics were used to evaluate the two networks so it can be inferred which network is ...
متن کاملA particle swarm optimization algorithm for minimization analysis of cost-sensitive attack graphs
To prevent an exploit, the security analyst must implement a suitable countermeasure. In this paper, we consider cost-sensitive attack graphs (CAGs) for network vulnerability analysis. In these attack graphs, a weight is assigned to each countermeasure to represent the cost of its implementation. There may be multiple countermeasures with different weights for preventing a single exploit. Also,...
