Abstract

ADTool is free, open source software assisting graphical modeling and quantitative analysis of security, using attack–defense trees. The main features of ADTool are easy creation, efficient editing, and automated bottom-up evaluation of security-relevant measures. The tool also supports the usage of attack trees, protection trees and defense trees, which are all particular instances of attack–defense trees.

The research leading to the results presented in this work received funding from the Fonds National de la Recherche Luxembourg under the grants C08/IS/26 and PHD-09-167 and the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement number 318003 (TREsPASS).
