Abstract

Static analysis of attack sequences (a.k.a topological vulnerability analysis -TVA) studies sequences of attacks that can eventually lead to exploitable vulnerabilities in a network In models where the attacks are specified in terms of their preconditions and post conditions, the sequences that can be launched are those in which the post condition of the antecedent attack implies the precondition of the precedent attack We show a method of doing so, and show the drawbacks in omitting these checks in the CRIM [5]) model.
