Overview:

This paper has produced an ontology specifying a model of computer attacks. The ontology is based upon an analysis of over 4,000 classes of computer intrusions and their corresponding attack strategies and is categorized according to: system component targeted, means of attack, consequence of attack and location of attacker. The author argues that any taxonomic characteristics used to define a computer attack be limited in scope to those features that are observable and measurable at the target of the attack. The paper presents the model as a target-centric ontology that is to be refined and expanded over time. The benefits of forgoing dependence are stated upon taxonomies, in favor of ontologies, for the classification of computer attacks and intrusions.
