-# Threat Modeling
-
-## Overview
-
-Threat modeling is a structured approach to identifying, quantifying, and addressing security risks in software systems. It helps developers understand security requirements and design secure systems from the start.
-
-## Threat Modeling Process
-
-### 1. Identify Assets
-What are you trying to protect?
-- User data (PII, credentials, financial information)
-- System resources (servers, databases, APIs)
-- Intellectual property
-- Business reputation
-- Availability of services
-
-### 2. Create Architecture Overview
-Document the system architecture:
-- Data flow diagrams
-- System boundaries
-- Trust boundaries
-- External dependencies
-- Entry and exit points
-
-### 3. Identify Threats
-Use threat modeling frameworks:
-- **STRIDE** (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege)
-- **DREAD** (Damage, Reproducibility, Exploitability, Affected Users, Discoverability)
-- **Attack Trees**
-- **Threat Libraries** (OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK)
-
-### 4. Mitigate Threats
-For each identified threat:
-- Determine risk level
-- Design countermeasures
-- Implement security controls
-- Verify effectiveness
-
-### 5. Validate and Review
-- Review threat model regularly
-- Update as system evolves
-- Validate mitigations are working
-- Document decisions
-
-## STRIDE Framework
-
-### Spoofing
-**Definition**: Impersonating someone or something else
-
-**Examples**:
-- Fake login pages
-- Email spoofing
-- IP address spoofing
-- Session hijacking
-
-**Mitigations**:
-- Strong authentication (MFA)
-- Certificate pinning
-- Session management
-- Cryptographic signatures
-
-### Tampering
-**Definition**: Modifying data or code
-
-**Examples**:
-- SQL injection
-- File modification
-- Configuration changes
-- Code injection
-
-**Mitigations**:
-- Input validation
-- Output encoding
-- Cryptographic hashing
-- Access controls
-- Code signing
-
-### Repudiation
-**Definition**: Denying that an action occurred
-
-**Examples**:
-- Claiming a transaction didn't happen
-- Denying sending a message
-- Disputing access to resources
-
-**Mitigations**:
-- Comprehensive logging
-- Digital signatures
-- Audit trails
-- Non-repudiation mechanisms
-
-### Information Disclosure
-**Definition**: Exposing information to unauthorized parties
-
-**Examples**:
-- SQL injection exposing data
-- Error messages revealing details
-- Insecure storage
-- Insecure transmission
-
-**Mitigations**:
-- Encryption (at rest and in transit)
-- Access controls
-- Secure error handling
-- Data classification
-- Least privilege
-
-### Denial of Service (DoS)
-**Definition**: Making a service unavailable
-
-**Examples**:
-- Resource exhaustion
-- Network flooding
-- Application crashes
-- Slowloris attacks
-
-**Mitigations**:
-- Rate limiting
-- Resource quotas
-- Input validation
-- Load balancing
-- DDoS protection services
-
-### Elevation of Privilege
-**Definition**: Gaining unauthorized access or privileges
-
-**Examples**:
-- Privilege escalation bugs
-- Bypassing access controls
-- Exploiting vulnerabilities
-- Social engineering
-
-**Mitigations**:
-- Principle of least privilege
-- Access control enforcement
-- Input validation
-- Secure defaults
-- Regular security updates
-
-## Threat Modeling Tools
-
-### Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool
-- Free tool for creating threat models
-- STRIDE-based analysis
-- Visual diagramming
-- Threat generation
-
-### OWASP Threat Dragon
-- Open-source threat modeling tool
-- Web-based interface
-- Supports multiple methodologies
-- Integration with development workflows
-
-### Attack Trees
-- Visual representation of attack paths
-- Shows how threats can be realized
-- Helps identify mitigation points
-- Useful for complex systems
-
-## Common Threat Scenarios
-
-### Web Application Threats
-- **SQL Injection**: Unvalidated input in database queries
-- **XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)**: Injecting malicious scripts
-- **CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)**: Forcing authenticated actions
-- **Session Fixation**: Attacker sets session ID
-- **Path Traversal**: Accessing files outside web root
-
-### API Threats
-- **Broken Authentication**: Weak or missing authentication
-- **Excessive Data Exposure**: Returning too much data
-- **Lack of Rate Limiting**: Allowing abuse
-- **Mass Assignment**: Modifying unintended fields
-- **Insecure Direct Object References**: Accessing unauthorized resources
-
-### Cloud Threats
-- **Misconfigured Storage**: Public S3 buckets, etc.
-- **Insecure APIs**: Weak authentication/authorization
-- **Data Breaches**: Insufficient encryption
-- **Account Hijacking**: Weak credentials
-- **Insider Threats**: Excessive permissions
-
-## Threat Modeling Best Practices
-
-### Start Early
-- Begin threat modeling during design phase
-- Update as system evolves
-- Include in security review process
-
-### Be Comprehensive
-- Consider all entry points
-- Think about all data flows
-- Consider all user roles
-- Don't forget internal threats
-
-### Document Everything
-- Document identified threats
-- Document mitigations
-- Document assumptions
-- Keep threat models up to date
-
-### Involve the Team
-- Include developers, architects, security
-- Use collaborative tools
-- Regular review sessions
-- Share knowledge
-
-### Use Frameworks
-- Don't reinvent the wheel
-- Use established methodologies (STRIDE, DREAD)
-- Leverage threat libraries
-- Learn from industry examples
