Flaw hypothesis methodology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flaw hypothesis methodology is a systems analysis and penetration prediction technique where list of hypothesized flaws in a system are complied through analysis of the specifications and documentation for the system. The list of hypothesized flaws is then prioritized on the basis of the estimated probability that a flaw actually exists, and on the ease of exploiting it to the extent of control or compromise. The prioritized list is used to direct the actual testing of the system.
