| Abstract | In present time as the technology advances with more powerful features, more vulnerable are the users to the infringements through computer attacks. An attack consists of many stages; each stage could execute at different computers within a period of a week or a month. Computer attacks are normally described in terms of a single exploited vulnerability or as a signature composed of a specific sequence of events. These approaches lack the ability to characterize complex scenarios or to generate unknown attacks. Describing the attack scenario is a very cumbersome task for an expert when the number of attack tools increase and the methods of attack are also getting more complicated every day. This thesis describes a flexible extensible model for computer attacks, an attack language using action language A that was developed with the Intention to provide concise and consistent Information on attacks in a high-level view of attack scenario. An initial database library of attack actions has been created in this new attack description language which could be used as a knowledge base of Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to correlate attacks and generate new the attack scenarios |
