Methods and apparatus to analyze computer system attack mechanisms

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:

• generate a graph based on a publication;
• analyze two or more nodes in the graph by identifying respective attributes of the two or more nodes in the graph;
• provide an indication of the two or more nodes that include similar respective attributes;
• generate an attack mechanism based on the indication;
• and
• indicate a weight associated with a severity of the generated attack mechanism, the weight based on (A) the two or more nodes in the graph and (B) the generated attack mechanism.

A method to analyze an attack mechanism, the method comprising:

• generating a graph based on a publication;
• analyzing two or more nodes in the graph by identifying respective attributes of the two or more nodes in the graph;
• providing an indication of the two or more nodes that include similar respective attributes;
• generating an attack mechanism based on the indication;
• and
• indicating a weight associated with a severity of the generated attack mechanism, the weight based on (A) the two or more nodes in the graph and (B) the generated attack mechanism.
