The Problem Intruders are Clever!
Forecast Development • Evaluation Criteria • Number of connections • Bytes to client • Bytes to server • Data Segmentation • Six time segments • Weekday traffic only
Modeling Techniques Average 30 Standard Deviation 14 Forecast Range 9-51 Median 30 Interquartile Range 20 Forecast Range 0-60 Average 880 Standard Deviation 2,257 Forecast Range -2,507 – 4,267 Median 30 Interquartile Range 20 Forecast Range 0-60
Evaluation Goals • Determine whether FADS produces a manageable number of alerts • Evaluate impact of external traffic • Examine three case studies for evidence of system effectiveness • Demonstrate performance is within bounds of feasibility
Goal #3: Case Studies • Underflow alerts to a web server supporting academic functions • Overflow events to a reporting server in production datacenter • Overflow events related to file integrity monitoring
Goal #4: Performance • Feasible to port this system to an online application • Processing 6-hour log file < 10 minutes • Forecasts generated in < 30 seconds • Evaluation dataset processed in ~ 4 seconds
Future Work • Evaluation with extended dataset • Advanced modeling techniques including periodicity • Dynamic selection of time segments • Automation of processing for online analysis
