Well, it might be old and not feature complete but I deem Attack Trees a
very valuable tool: http://www.schneier.com/paper-attacktrees-ddj-ft.html

The methodoligy behind attack trees is rather simple and that simplicity
makes the whole process rather trivial. The complexity of a threat can
be modelded into different layers, their dependencies can be better
analyses and a conclusion is easier reached imho.

Again I cannot help. My tool usese GRaphViz and a bit of perl Magick
along with a SQlite database to do what I want for Attack Tree Threat
modeling.
