Nodes

Graphs are composed of nodes and edges. An edge is a connection between two nodes. A node represents some entity about which we've gathered information.

Node type:HOST
Description:A HOST node just means a regular system (workstation or server) on the network.

Node type:ACCOUNT
Description:An ACCOUNT represents a username and password combination found on at least one HOST. Often, what we're interested in here is finding ACCOUNTS that occur on more than one host (that's an implied trust).

Node type:CRITICAL
Description:A CRITICAL node is just a HOST that we've chosen to highlight. Often times, it's nice to call attention to domain controllers, but maybe it would be useful to pick on other systems from time to time

Node type:VULNERABLE
Description:A VULNERABLE node is a HOST that we've designated as being vulnerable to some sort of attack (i.e., it can be compromised via some means that we know about, like a totally rad exploit or something

Node type:TRIVIAL
Description:A TRIVIAL node is an ACCOUNT with some lame characteristic, like no password, or a password equal to the username.
