Abstract:
An apparatus for quantifying network threat situations includes a traffic analyzing unit to analyze packet patterns of traffics occurring on a target network being monitored to extract one or more suspicious domains. An IP monitoring unit gives security levels among a plurality of security levels to the suspicious domains according to the number of access IPs accessing the suspicious domains. An activity index computing unit computes activity indices for the suspicious domains from activity indices according to the access times to the suspicious domains of the access IPs. An attack amount anticipation unit analogizes an expected amount of attacks for each suspicious domain according to an expected amount of attacks for each zombie computer, the security level and the activity index of the suspicious domain.
