A case cited by Microsoft in April 2008 credits COFEE as being crucial in a New Zealand investigation into the trafficking of child pornography, producing evidence that led to an arrest. [ 1 ] In April 2009 Microsoft and Interpol signed an agreement under which INTERPOL would serve as principal international distributor of COFEE.
STRIDE is a model for identifying computer security threats [1] developed by Praerit Garg and Loren Kohnfelder at Microsoft. [2] It provides a mnemonic for security threats in six categories. [3] The threats are: Spoofing; Tampering; Repudiation; Information disclosure (privacy breach or data leak) Denial of service; Elevation of privilege [4]
Examples of this strategy include using anti-spam techniques, using CAPTCHA and other human presence detection techniques, and using DOS-based defense (protection from Denial-of-service attack). This is a supporting strategy for boundary protection and information system monitoring.
An attack is an instantiation of a threat scenario which is caused by a specific attacker with a specific goal in mind and a strategy for reaching that goal. The goal and strategy represent the highest semantic levels of the DML model. This is followed by the TTP (Tactics, Techniques and Procedures) which represent intermediate semantic levels.

AOL Mail uses many security measures to keep your account secure, one of which is CAPTCHA or image challenges when sending mail. These challenges exist to make it harder for hackers to access your accounts. The characters can't be read by a computer and must be entered manually, ensuring only a real person can pass the test. Why am I being ...
The attack exploits an implementation weakness in the authentication protocol, where password hashes remain static from session to session until the password is next changed. This technique can be performed against any server or service accepting LM or NTLM authentication, whether it runs on a machine with Windows, Unix, or any other operating ...
Damage – how bad would an attack be? Reproducibility – how easy is it to reproduce the attack? Exploitability – how much work is it to launch the attack? Affected users – how many people will be impacted? Discoverability – how easy is it to discover the threat? The DREAD name comes from the initials of the five categories listed.
