AttackPattern Object

AttackPattern Attack Patterns are a type of TTP that describe ways that adversaries attempt to compromise targets.

PropertyTypeDescriptionRequired?
descriptionMarkdownStringA description of object, which may be detailed.
idStringGlobally unique URI identifying this object.
schema_versionStringCTIM schema version for this entity.
short_descriptionMedStringStringA single line, short summary of the object.
titleShortStringStringA short title for this object, used as primary display and reference value.
typeAttackPatternTypeIdentifierString
abstraction_levelAttackPatternAbstractionsStringThe CAPEC abstraction level for patterns describing techniques to attack a system.
external_idsString ListIt is used to store a list of external identifiers that can be linked to the incident, providing a reliable and manageable way to correlate and group related events across multiple data sources. It is especially useful in larger organizations that rely on multiple security information and event management (SIEM) systems to detect security incidents. For instance, it can be used to track events across different network sensors, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), or log management platforms. The field can also be used to facilitate automation and orchestration workflows, where additional information can be shared among incident management systems. It can be used to cross-reference with other external tools such as threat intelligence feeds and vulnerability scanners.
external_referencesExternalReference Object ListA list of external references which refer to non-STIX information. This property MAY be used to provide one or more Attack Pattern identifiers, such as a CAPEC ID. When specifying a CAPEC ID, the source_name property of the external reference MUST be set to capec and the external_id property MUST be formatted as CAPEC-[id].
kill_chain_phasesKillChainPhase Object ListA kill chain is a series of steps that an attacker must go through to successfully achieve their objective. The concept was originally developed by the military, but has been adapted to the cybersecurity field to describe the steps an attacker goes through to compromise a target system and achieve their goal.
languageShortStringStringThe language field is used to specify the primary language of the affected system or the target of an attack. It can be used to provide additional context and information about the entity. The primary purpose of this field is to help analysts filter and prioritize entities based on their knowledge and expertise of different languages. For example, if an incident involves an attack on a system in a country where a specific language is predominant, the language field can be used to indicate that language, which can help analysts to quickly identify and respond to incidents that may be geographically or culturally relevant. This information can be used to prioritize incidents based on their potential impact. The language field can also be used to help with correlation of incidents across different systems and regions, as well as to help with data analysis and reporting.
revisionIntegerA monotonically increasing revision, incremented each time the object is changed.
sourceMedStringStringRepresents the source of the intelligence that led to the creation of the entity.
source_uriStringURI of the source of the intelligence that led to the creation of the entity.
timestampInst (Date)The time this object was created at, or last modified.
tlpTLPStringTLP stands for Traffic Light Protocol, which indicates precisely how a resource is intended to be shared, replicated, copied, etc. It is used to indicate the sensitivity of the information contained within the message. This allows recipients to determine the appropriate handling and dissemination of the information based on their clearance level and need-to-know. For example, an entity containing information about a critical vulnerability in a widely-used software might be marked as red, indicating that it should only be shared with a small group of highly trusted individuals who need to know in order to take appropriate action. On the other hand, a message containing more general information about security threats might be marked as amber or green, indicating that it can be shared more broadly within an organization.
