  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 11 stars11 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Attack Tree Construction

Systematic attack path visualization and analysis.

When to Use This Skill

  • Visualizing complex attack scenarios
  • Identifying defense gaps and priorities
  • Communicating risks to stakeholders
  • Planning defensive investments
  • Penetration test planning
  • Security architecture review

Core Concepts

1. Attack Tree Structure

                    [Root Goal]
                         |
            ┌────────────┴────────────┐
            │                         │
       [Sub-goal 1]              [Sub-goal 2]
       (OR node)                 (AND node)
            │                         │
      ┌─────┴─────┐             ┌─────┴─────┐
      │           │             │           │
   [Attack]   [Attack]      [Attack]   [Attack]
    (leaf)     (leaf)        (leaf)     (leaf)

2. Node Types

Best Practices

Do's

  • Start with clear goals - Define what attacker wants
  • Be exhaustive - Consider all attack vectors
  • Attribute attacks - Cost, skill, and detection
  • Update regularly - New threats emerge
  • Validate with experts - Red team review

Don'ts

  • Don't oversimplify - Real attacks are complex
  • Don't ignore dependencies - AND nodes matter
  • Don't forget insider threats - Not all attackers are external
  • Don't skip mitigations - Trees are for defense planning
  • Don't make it static - Threat landscape evolves
