A Short-Normalized Attack Graph Based Approach for Network Attack Analysis

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 3

Abstract

 Abstract: Attack graphs are the graphs which describe attack scenarios, play important roles in analyzing network threats. These attack graphs are able to reveal such potential threats by evaluating the all possible sequences that an attacker can follow to compromise given critical resources or nodes. An Attack graph specifies an attack scenario that results in compromising network values. There are so many methods proposed to evaluate the network security in attack graphs. But no method specifies the overhead occurred due to the evaluation of network security at each and every node. This paper addresses the problem of overhead occurred due to the network security evaluation in Short-Normalizedattack graphs by evaluating a factor called network security risk. In this paper first the possible n valid attack paths are going to be calculated and then the security risk is going to be calculated for those n valid paths. This security risk denotes the amount of overhead occurred due to this evaluation.
