Abstract:System incentive and alternation of attacker's strategies are not taken into full consideration in current intrusion response research. An intrusion response model (intrusion response based on attack graph, IRAG) based on the attack graph is proposed to solve this problem. IRAG model deals well with the attack's intent and alternation of strategies, and takes account of incentives of system and attacker across-the-board. The experimental results show that the IRAG model can effectively improve the accuracy and effectiveness of alert response.
