A Survey on Taxonomies of Attacks and Vulnerabilities in Computer Systems (original) (raw)

Security evaluation of a system is a complicated problem. The majority of the recent efforts in Security evaluation involve for discovering well-known Vulnerabilities. Discovering unidentified Vulnerabilities yet mostly remains a subjective procedure. The procedure knows how to be improved by considering the Characteristics and behavior of well-known Vulnerabilities. The information therefore obtained knows how to be planned into an appropriate Taxonomy, and then can be used as a structure for systematically and investigating new Systems for related however at the same time as yet unidentified Vulnerabilities. There have been several efforts at producing such Taxonomies. This paper offers a detailed review of the significant work done on developing Taxonomies of Attacks and Vulnerabilities in Computer Systems. This review covers work done in security related taxonomies. Apart from giving a state of the art review of Taxonomies, furthermore we examine their efficiency for use in a se...
