Standardize attack type strings (with Rich C) #11

Open craigpratt opened 2 years ago

craigpratt commented 2 years ago

After discussions with BofA, realized that we're currently using attack type IDs defined by NetScout.

As BofA don't use NetScout, this presents an issue: What attack type definitions do we use that are vendor neutral?

Rich had a list based on observational data. And I started a table. But this work need to be completed. And we need to decide if we go with more informal string names or identify attack types using ordinals.

One thing that I think is critical is that attacks can be put under multiple categories. Many attacks will fit both a generic name (e.g. "amplification") and a more specific name (e.g. "DNS amplification using ...").
