Methods and systems for attack generation on data lakes

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including a program that, when performed by a computer system, enables the computer system to:

• for a data lake repository:
• provide an attack generation mimicry tool;
• and
• with the attack generation mimicry tool:
• implement a reconnaissance phase attack generation;
• implement an infiltration phase attack generation on the data lake repository;
• implement a hiding and data intelligence collection phase of an attack by hiding from a monitoring or notification system of the data lake repository and surveying the data lake repository to determine what data to target for exfiltration from the data lake repository;
• implement a data gathering phase of the attack that gathers data about objects, attributes, and relationships in the data lake repository other than the data targeted for exfiltration;
• and
• implement the exfiltration of the data to target for exfiltration.

A system for attack generation on a data lake, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories connected to the one or more processors, the one or more memories including a program that, when executed by the one or more processors, enables the system to:
• for a data lake repository:
• provide an attack generation mimicry tool;
• and
• with the attack generation mimicry tool:
• implement a reconnaissance phase attack generation;
• implement an infiltration phase attack generation on the data lake repository;
• implement a hiding and data intelligence collection phase of an attack by hiding from a monitoring or notification system of the data lake repository and surveying the data lake repository to determine what data to target for exfiltration from the data lake repository;
• implement a data gathering phase of the attack that gathers data about objects, attributes, and relationships in the data lake repository other than the data targeted for exfiltration;
• and
• implement the exfiltration of the data targeted for exfiltration.
