摘要:
A method for detecting beaconing behavior includes preprocessing network records to identify candidate source and destination pairs for detecting beaconing behavior, where each source and destination pair is associated with a specific time interval in a plurality of time intervals forming a time range, the time interval and time range having been predefined. The activity time interval information is converted from the time domain into the frequency domain. Candidate frequencies are determined from the source and destination pairs, as likely candidate frequencies/periodicities of beaconing activities.

摘要:
A method for improving a detection of beaconing activity includes receiving input data into a computer-implemented processing procedure at least one listing of at least one of time series data and candidate periods of potential beaconing activity. The input data is processed, to detect candidates of potential beaconing activity. By further evaluating the time series data using techniques used for evaluating an analog signal, the performance of detecting of potential beaconing activity is improved to eliminate false positive indications of beaconing activity and/or to provide indication of multiple interleaved periodicities of beaconing.
摘要:
A method includes collecting system calls and call parameters invoked by monitored applications for target computer systems. The system calls and call parameters are received from operating system kernels on the plurality of target computer systems. Sequences of systems calls and call parameters of the monitored applications are correlated among different target computer systems to deduce malicious activities. Remedial action(s) are performed in response to malicious activities being deduced as being malicious by the correlating. Another method includes determining that network activity at a specific time is deemed to be suspicious. Using IP addresses involved in the suspicious network activity, computer system(s) are determined that are sources of the suspicious network activity. Based on the specific time and the determined computer system(s), application(s) are determined that are executing on the determined computer system(s) that are causing the suspicious network activity. Remedial action(s) are performed for the determined computer system(s).

摘要:
A method (and structure) includes receiving, as input data into a computer-implemented processing procedure, at least one listing of at least one of time series data and potential candidate periods of potential beaconing activity. The input data is processed, using a processor on a computer, to evaluate the input data as if the input data represents data points of an input analog signal subject to principles of communication theory and having determinable statistical characteristics.
