To address the scalability problem in attack graphs generation, we propose a novel method to generate attack graphs automatically. Our approach constructs a two- tier attack graph framework, which includes a host access graph and some sub-attack graphs. A sub-attack graph describes concrete attack scenarios from one source host to one target host, while the host access graph describes the attacker’s privilege transition among hosts. Our sub-attack graphs and host access graph have remarkable smaller scales and can help network administrators to find the key hosts in attack sequences. Analysis shows that the upper bound computational cost of our model is O(N3), which could also be competed in real time. The following experiment validates our approach.
