Abstract
Understanding the end game of potential adversaries is the first step to modeling which attack vector(s) are likely to be the most profitable or least costly. Hacking activity may be motivated by gain, pain, or fear. Specific attack techniques are linked to challenges against specific security objectives (i.e., confidentiality, integrity, availability). For example, eavesdropping and aircracking are associated with confidentiality attacks. By analyzing attacker behavior in terms of market opportunity and the rational drive to maximize return of investment/effort, we can arrive at a better understanding of how to adapt prevention, detection, and control mechanisms to specific ...
