Enum: AbstractionEnum

The different abstraction levels that apply to an attack pattern. A Meta level

attack pattern is a decidedly abstract characterization of a specific methodology

or technique used in an attack. A Standard level attack pattern is focused on a

specific methodology or technique. A Detailed level attack pattern provides a low

level of detail, typically leveraging a specific technique and targeting a specific

technology, and expresses a complete execution flow.

    description: 'A Meta level attack pattern in CAPEC is a decidedly abstract characterization

      of a specific methodology or technique used in an attack. A Meta attack pattern

      is often void of a specific technology or implementation and is meant to provide

      an understanding of a high level approach. A Meta level attack pattern is a

      generalization of related group of standard level attack patterns. Meta level

      attack patterns are particularly useful for architecture and design level threat

      modeling exercises.'

    description: 'A Standard level attack pattern in CAPEC is focused on a specific
      methodology

      or technique used in an attack. It is often seen as a singular piece of a fully

      executed attack. A Standard attack pattern is meant to provide sufficient details

      to understand the specific technique and how it attempts to accomplish a desired

      goal. A Standard level attack pattern is a specific type of a more abstract
      meta

      level attack pattern.'

      leveraging a specific technique and targeting a specific technology, and expresses

      a complete execution flow. Detailed attack patterns are more specific than meta
      and

      standard attack patterns and often require a specific protection mechanism to
      mitigate

      actual attacks. A Detailed level attack pattern often will leverage a number
      of

      different standard level attack patterns chained together to accomplish a goal.'
