Risk Calculator

A fine grained application security risk calculator for MacOS X written in Objective C.

This is what we use at Threat Intelligence to rate risks. It's loosely based upon the OWASP Risk Methodology, but has some allowances for OSTMM 3 isms, such as attack chaining.

So no more guessing if stored XSS is really a big deal, calculate it!

How does it calculate the risks?

If you are trying to guess the magic sauce as to where the risk factors are weighted, I use integer tag values on individual menu attributes. These tags are set between 0 .. 3 .. 6 .. 9, and are used to determine each impact factor. The code uses selectedTag to obtain the tag value I set in the scene editor:

chainingFactor = (double)[chaining selectedTag];

I felt it was quicker to do it that way than have a lot of language comparisons in the code.

Where is your risk table?

Our risk table is currently expressed in a multi-dimensional NSArray. I think a good future version might spin this out to a dynamic risk table and offer choices such as a 3x3, 4x4 (ISO 31000), and 5x5 tables of different sorts, and to allow customization so you can make your own without compiling. But for now... it is what it is.
