CAPEC Categories List

Below is a comprehensive list of CAPEC (Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification) attack patterns, grouped by category. Each category brings together similar techniques used to exploit software weaknesses (CWEs) or known vulnerabilities (CVEs) - such as injection, privilege escalation, or social engineering. This thematic classification helps clarify how attackers operate, supports exploration of the vulnerability database, maps attack surfaces, and enhances cyber threat intelligence and data protection strategies.
