Attack Graph Generation based on Security Administrator Information

Due to the continuous growth of network size,the independent vulnerability analysis could not satisfy the requirement of security protection.Attack graph,as a new tool,could show the network structure clearly.Taking into account the interaction among the vulnerabilities,the people can identify overall risk of the network better and adopt proper a measures.However,the complexity of attack graphs generated by traditional generation methods would grow rapidly with the expansion of network scale.A fairly simple attack graph could be generated by a new method based on the knowledge of the administrator.This method generates attack graph from the key node of the network,and thus could reduce the scale of the attack graph effectively.
