Message-ID: <CAM2Hf5kmnUG7QA-zxEyEK5dwUb5hiaGqUZc6pwkdQ6N-=BxwiQ@mail.gmail.com> Date: Mon, 28 May 2012 10:27:46 -0700 From: Gage Bystrom <themadichib0d@...il.com> To: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Re: Info about attack trees Never read any of his pieces on attack trees. That being said, and having read over it, I believe it to be infeasible to make an attack tree against any modern system, even with only the scope of web applications. There are simply a vast majority of possible start points, and what leafs that may exist all depend on what information you gather. As in, while building an attack tree you might have to add leaves as you attack the application. Such a final attack tree would be amazingly complex. If OP wants to go for that then that's his choice, but to be frank I believe there are more productive uses of someone's time.
