Detection of Anomalies from User Profiles Generated from System Logs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe research into the identification of anomalous events and event patterns as manifested in computer system logs. Prototype software has been developed with a capability that identifies anomalous events based on usage patterns or user profiles, and alerts administrators when such events are identified. To reduce the number of false positive alerts we have investigated the use of different user profile training techniques and introduce the use of abstractions to group together applications which are related. Our results suggest that the number of false alerts that are generated is significantly reduced when a growing time window is used for user profile training and when abstraction into groups of applications is used.

Due to increasing in cyber-attacks, the need for web servers attack detection technique has drawn attentions today. Unfortunately, many available security solutions are inefficient in identifying web-based attacks. The main aim of this study is to detect abnormal web navigations based on web usage profiles. In this paper, comparing scrolling behavior of a normal user with an attacker, and simu...

The success of recommender systems ultimately depends on the availability of comprehensive user profiles that accurately capture the interests of endusers. However, the automatic compilation of such profiles represents a complex learning task. In this paper, we focus on how accurate user profiles can be generated directly from analysing the behaviours of Web users in the CASPER project. In CASP...

We present an extended version of targeted projection pursuit, a high dimensional data exploration tool adapted for producing graph layouts using node-attributes. Attributes are generated based on detected events in the intrusion detection system and firewall logs and how often they occur for each IP address. Edges are the directed links between source and destination IPs. The layout is interac...
متن کاملExploring Application Logs
This paper deals with the problem of analyzing application event logs in relevance to dependability evaluation. We present the significance of application logs as a valuable source of information on operational profiles, anomalies and errors. They can enhance classical approaches based on monitoring system logs and performance variables. Keywords; event monitoring, operational profiles, anomalies
متن کاملMining Console Logs for Large-Scale System Problem Detection
The console logs generated by an application contain messages that the application developers believed would be useful in debugging or monitoring the application. Despite the ubiquity and large size of these logs, they are rarely exploited in a systematic way for monitoring and debugging because they are not readily machineparsable. In this paper, we propose a novel method for mining this rich ...
