Abstract

In this paper we introduce the concept of attack jungles, which is a formalism for systematic representation of the vulnerabilities of systems. An attack jungle is a graph representation of all ways in which an attacker successfully can achieve his goal. Attack jungles are an extension of attack trees [13] that allows multiple roots, cycles and reusability of resources. We have implemented a prototype tool for constructing and analyzing attack jungles. The tool was used to analyze the security of the GSM (radio) access network.
