==> "there are no such thing as an attack tree."

Eh ??   Seems that Schneier was blowing smoke up in the air with his
thoughts on attack trees !!

Anyhoot, here's another good old linky Military Operations Research V10,

Hello everybody, I'm new to this maling-list and to security in general.
I'm here to learn and I'm starting with a question :)

I'm looking for some informations about attack trees usage in web
application analysis.

For my master thesis I decided to study the usage of this formalism in
order to reppresent attacks to a web applications.
I need a lot of use cases from which to start learning common attacks
which can help building a proper tree.

From where can I start?

I've already read the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities an I'm familiar with
XSS, SQLi, ecc. however I've no clue on how to combine them together in
order to perform the steps needed to attack a system. I'm looking for some
examples and maybe to some famous attacks from which I can understand which
steps are performed and how commons vulnerabilities can being combined
together. Any help is really appreciated.
