attack-tree-construction
Build comprehensive attack trees to visualize threat paths. Use when mapping attack scenarios, identifying defense gaps, or communicating security risks to stakeholders.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured approach to attack path visualization that includes specific methodologies and templates not commonly found in general security resources.

What this skill does
⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited. Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target: 1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource. 2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope. 3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect. 4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation. Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab. AUTHORIZED USE ONLY: Use this skill only for authorized security assessments, defensive validation, or controlled educational environments. Attack Tree Construction Systematic attack path visualization and analysis. Use this skill when Visualizing complex attack scenarios Identifying defense gaps and priorities Communicating risks to stakeholders Planning defensive investments or test scopes Do not use this skill when You lack authorization or a defined scope to model the system The task is a general risk review without attack-path modeling The request is unrelated to security assessment or design Instructions Confirm scope, assets, and the attacker goal for the root node. Decompose into sub-goals with AND/OR structure. Annotate leaves with cost, skill, time, and detectability. Map mitigations per branch and prioritize high-impact paths. If detailed templates are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md. Safety Share attack trees only with authorized stakeholders. Avoid including sensitive exploit details unless required. Resources resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns, templates, and examples. …
