SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Security teams often struggle to systematically identify threats when reviewing system architectures, leading to missed vulnerabilities and inconsistent threat documentation. This Skill provides a structured STRIDE framework with ready-to-use templates and analysis code to make threat modeling repeatable and comprehensive. ## Core Features & Use Cases - STRIDE Threat Model Template: A complete Markdown document template covering assets, trust boundaries, all six STRIDE categories, risk scoring, and prioritized recommendations. - Python Analysis Code: Dataclass-based threat modeling with risk scoring, a STRIDE questionnaire generator, mitigation suggestions, DFD trust-boundary analysis, and per-interaction threat enumeration. - Use Case: When designing a new API, use this Skill to walk through each STRIDE category, document threats like SQL injection and IDOR with impact/likelihood ratings, and produce a prioritized mitigation plan for the engineering team. ## Quick Start Use the stride-analysis-patterns skill to create a threat model for my web application with a user-facing frontend, API gateway, and database.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a threat model using STRIDE?

Start by documenting your system overview, data flow diagram, trust boundaries, and assets. Then walk through each STRIDE category (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege), listing threats with impact and likelihood ratings, and finish with mitigations and a prioritized risk list.

What does STRIDE stand for in threat modeling?

STRIDE is a threat classification framework from Microsoft covering six categories: Spoofing (authentication), Tampering (integrity), Repudiation (non-repudiation), Information Disclosure (confidentiality), Denial of Service (availability), and Elevation of Privilege (authorization).

How do I calculate risk scores for identified threats?

Multiply the impact value (1-4) by the likelihood value (1-4) to get a risk score from 1 to 16. Scores of 12 or above are Critical, 6-11 are High, 3-5 are Medium, and below 3 are Low, letting you prioritize remediation efforts.

Which STRIDE threats apply to each element in a data flow diagram?

External entities face Spoofing and Repudiation threats. Processes face all six categories. Data stores face Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, and Denial of Service. Data flows face Tampering, Information Disclosure, and Denial of Service.

When should I not rely only on STRIDE for security analysis?

STRIDE focuses on design-level threat identification and does not replace penetration testing, code scanning, or runtime monitoring. For attack-tree analysis or privacy-specific threats, complement STRIDE with methods like PASTA or LINDDUN.
