Abstrakt
We present a demo of behaviour-based similarity retrieval in network traffic data. The underlying framework is intended to support domain experts searching for network nodes (computers) infected by malicious software, especially in cases when single client-server communication does not have to be sufficient to reliably identify the infection.
The focus is on interactive browsing enabling dynamic changes of the retrieval model, which is based on a recently proposed statistical description (fingerprint) of a communication between two network hosts and the bag of features approach. The demo/framework provides unique insight into the data and enables annotation of the data and model modifications during the search for more effective identification of infected hosts.
