What are AND/OR nodes in an attack tree?

OR nodes represent alternative paths where any child node achieves the goal. AND nodes represent complex attacks where every child step is required to succeed.

Can I export the attack tree data?

Yes, the skill includes standardized Python templates for serializing attack trees into JSON format, making it easy to integrate with other security tools or documentation.

What is an attack tree?

An attack tree is a visual and mathematical representation of the various paths an attacker can take to reach a specific goal, helping security teams identify and mitigate system vulnerabilities.

How does this skill help with security audits?

It provides a structured framework to map out potential threats, allowing you to calculate the aggregate difficulty, cost, and detection risk for an attacker to exploit your system.

Security & Testing

Generates systematic attack path visualizations and security threat models to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize defensive investments.

About

The Attack Tree Construction skill enables developers and security professionals to visualize complex attack scenarios through hierarchical trees. It provides a structured framework for mapping potential threat paths, using AND/OR logic to define sub-goals and atomic attack steps. By incorporating attributes like cost, time, skill level, and detection risk, this skill helps teams identify defense gaps, plan penetration tests, and communicate technical security risks effectively to stakeholders using data-driven Python models.
