• Abstract: Attack graphs are a tool for analyzing security vulnerabilities that capture different and prospective attacks on a system. As a threat modeling tool, it shows possible paths that an attacker can exploit to achieve a particular goal. However, due to the large number of vulnerabilities that are published on a daily basis, they have the potential to rapidly expand in size. Consequently, this necessitates a significant amount of resources to generate attack graphs. In addition, generating composited attack models for complex systems such as self-adaptive or AI is very difficult due to their nature to continuously change. In this paper, we present a novel fragment-based attack graph generation approach that utilizes information from publicly available information security databases. Furthermore, we also propose a domain-specific language for attack modeling, which we employ in the proposed attack graph generation approach. Finally, we present a demonstrator example showcasing the attack generator's capability to replicate a verified attack chain, as previously confirmed by security experts.

  This work aims to provide a method for the automatic generation of Attack Trees from attack logs.

Our approach is supported by a prototype that, apart from the derivation and translation of the model, provides the user with an Attack Tree in the RisQFLan format.

  Graph-based Anomaly Detection (GAD) is becoming prevalent due to the powerful representation abilities of graphs. These GAD tools expose a new attacking surface, ironically due to their unique advantage of being able to exploit the relations among data. In this paper, we exploit this vulnerability by designing a new type of targeted structural poisoning attacks to a representative regression-based GAD system OddBall.

  The emphbackdoor attack intends to embed hidden backdoors in deep neural networks (DNNs) by poisoning training data. We propose a novel attack paradigm, the emphfine-grained attack, where we treat the target label from the object-level instead of the image-level. Experiments show that the proposed methods can successfully attack semantic segmentation models by poisoning only a small proportion of training data.

We design a modular framework for subpopulation attacks, instantiate it with different building blocks, and show that the attacks are effective for a variety of datasets and machine learning models.
