SMC is an Open-Source command-line application written in GoLang that converts security model data to different formats. SMC supports conversion between SAND Attack Trees, Dependency Models, and FRIPP (see supported formats below). SMC is designed to work alongside the Security Modelling Framework (SecMoF) tool.
SMC uses GraphML as an intermediate format to allow conversion of the different formats, since GraphML is a widely used format it may be used to import/export the models into other tools, including and beyond SecMoF.
Install
Golang is required to compile and run this tool. Final versions will have release binaries.
go install github.com/PMaynard/smc@latest
Usage
The tool converts models between each other using GraphML as a common format.
smc [fripp|dm|idm|sand] in.fripp out.graphmlConvert a SAND Attack Tree into SecMoF FRIP Playbook:
smc sand testdata/sand/example.ctrees example.frippConvert FRIP Playbook to GraphML
smc fripp testdata/fripp/example.fripp example.graphmlSupported Formats (IN|OUT)
| Format | CTree | GraphML | SecMoF | iDepend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAND Attack Trees | Y|N | Y|Y | -|- | -|- |
| Dependency Model | -|- | Y|Y | Y|Y | Y|N |
| Playbook Process | -|- | Y|Y | Y|Y | -|- |
Non-Goals
- Output SAND Attack Trees.
- Output iDepend XML models.
- Replace the Eclipse based Security Modelling Framework Tool (SecMoF).
Example
The below file is a textual representation of SAND Attack Trees using tabs to indicate a child node of the above line.
By running: smc sand data/ctrees/common.ctrees common.fripp the Attack Tree is converted into a XML file that can be read by SecMoF then formally verified using the tool.
File: data/ctrees/common.ctrees
