At present, with the increase of automated attack tools and the development of the underground industrial chain brought by network attack, even well-managed network is vulnerable to complex multi-step network attack, which combines multiple network vulnerabilities and uses the causal relationship between them to achieve the attack target. The detection of such attack intention is very difficult. Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the real attack intention of the attackers in complex network is difficult to be recognized, this paper proposes to assume the possible targets in the network according to the important asset information in the network. By constructing the hierarchical attack path graph, the probability of each hypothetical attack intention target is calculated, and the real attack intention and the most likely attack path of the attacker are deduced. The hierarchical attack path graph we use can effectively overcome the cognitive difficulties caused by network complexity and large scale, and can quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the network status. It is of great importance to make the protection and strategy of network security.
