Reinstate automated generation of threats by element

[jgadsden]

Describe what problem your feature request solves:
Version 1.x has a feature where the threats are suggested by element, for example if STRIDE:

STRIDE per element
          S | T | R | I | D | E
ACTOR   | X |   | X |   |   |
STORE   |   | X | X | X | X |
PROCESS | X | X | X | X | X | X
FLOW    |   | X |   | X | X |

Describe the solution you'd like:
Reinstate automated generation of threats by element

@jgadsden I'm curious, was this feature removed/deprecated in 2.x for any particular reason?

[jgadsden]

Well, only because we just did not have the engineering resource to implement it
Version 2.x is (almost) a complete rewrite of version 1.6.1, and some features we really wanted but could not get the time to do them - such as automated generation of threats by element
If you have some time to do this @ryeqb it would be very good to have

@jgadsden Im in the process of writing my bachelors thesis on templating threat models for IoT architectures and having had a quick look at Microsofts threat modeling tool, not having automated threat generation definitely stuck out. So did this the existing issue of non-existent templates given that's my thesis' goal #220

Hope I can help tackling both issues to some degree

[jgadsden]

Absolutely good to have any help you can on both these issues @ryeqb
Say if you want me to assign an issue to you
Awesome degree thesis by the way 👍🏾

Hi, @jgadsden! I am interested to contribute this issue under Gsoc. I am looking for some help from you to understand that issue deeply. So, that I can create an outline for the remedy. 🙂
As mentioned the threats by element functionality available in v1.x but not in 2.x!
I tried both the versions 2.2.0 and 1.6.1 -
The difference I found is that -

In version 2.2.0 -

In version 1.6.1 -

Can you help me by providing more exposure to it, please?
