Abstract

The (Single-Path Attack Graph Algorithm) chapter contributes an algorithm and a PoC implementation for generating single-path attack graphs for an entire system.

The best security strategies are those that take into account the entire system, not just individual components.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Single-path attack graphs are also called attack trees or attack forests, depending on the number of root nodes.

  2. 2.

    Auguste Kerckhoffs (1835 till 1903) was a Dutch cryptologist today famous for the Kerckhoffs principle.

  3. 3.

    The monotonicity property would not hold in fast-changing domains, e.g., enterprise networks with many mobile and daily changing participants.

  4. 4.

    The resulting graph is not a Bayesian network as the resulting graph nodes consider pre-predecessor’s statuses.

  5. 5.

    JMH (Java Microbenchmark Harness) was founded in 2013, was still in its first year at the time of the benchmark implementation, and was not included in the JDK until 2019.

  6. 6.

    Google Caliper was only in its second year at the time of the benchmark implementation.

  7. 7.

    JUnitBenchmarks appeared dead and was officially declared “deprecated” one year later 2015, explicitly in favor of JMH.
