Abstract

This paper proposed a five dimensional taxonomy ADMIT which captures five major classifiers to characterize the nature of attacks. These are classification by attack vector, classification by defense, classification by method, classification by impact and classification by attack target. The classification structure of proposed taxonomy described the nature of attacks thoroughly. The administrator can use the proposed taxonomy to locate strategies that are appropriate for securing their system against vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Use of ADMIT taxonomy in network defense strategies can improve the overall level of security.
