SCADA system is a computer system that monitors and controls the national infrastructure or industrial process including transportation facilities, water treatment and distribution, electrical power transmission and distribution, and gas pipelines. The SCADA system has been operated in a closed network, but it changes to open network as information and communication technology is developed rapidly. As the way of connecting with outside user extends, the possibility of exploitation of vulnerability of SCADA system gets high. The methodology to protect the possible huge damage caused by malicious user should be developed. In this paper, we proposed anomaly detection based intrusion detection methodology by estimating self-similarity of SCADA system.

본 논문에서는 중요 프로세스(privileged process)의 시스템 호출 순서(system call sequence)를 이용한 침입탐지 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 연구의 정상행위 기반 침입탐지 시스템은 정상행위를 모델링하여 시스템을 구성하고, 이와 비교를 통해 프로세스의 이상(anomaly) 여부를 결정한다. 이러한 방법은 모델링되지 않은 미지의 행위에 대한 적절한 판단을 행할 수 없으므로, 높은 오류율(false-positive/negative)을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 알려진 공격에서 공통적으로 나타나는 윈도우들을 수집하여 침입예상윈도우를 구축하고, 이를 기존의 침입탐지 시스템에 부가적으로 사용하여 효과적으로 오류율(false-positive/negative)을 낮출 수 있음을 보인다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법을 통한 침입탐지는 기존의 방법에 비해 공격 탐지율은 증가하고 정상행위에 대한 오류율은 감소하였다.

기계학습 방법을 이용한 네트워크 기반 침입탐지 시스템은 어떤 학습알고리즘을 사용하여 구현되었느냐에 따라 그 결과가 매우 달라진다. 학습을 위한 전처리를 많이 하면 비례하여 성능이 개선되지만, 실제 사용의 유용성면에서는 성능이 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 최소한의 전처리를 하여 침입탐지의 탐지율을 보장하는 방법이 필요 하다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크기반 침입탐지 문제를 기계학습을 이용하여 해결하는 방법을 제안 하였다. 제안된 모델은 탐지 속도와 각종 공격들의 패킷 분포를 고려하여 관련된 그룹으로 분류하고, 이것을 학습하는 시스템이다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 모델의 유용성을 검증 하였다.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid feature extraction method in which Principal Components Analysis is combined with optimized k-Means clustering technique. Our approach hierarchically reduces the redundancy of features with high explanation in principal components analysis for choosing a good subset of features critical to improve the performance of classifiers. Based on this result, we evaluate the performance of intrusion detection by using Support Vector Machine and a nonparametric approach based on k-Nearest Neighbor over data sets with reduced features. The Experiment results with KDD Cup 1999 dataset show several advantages in terms of computational complexity and our method achieves significant detection rate which shows possibility of detecting successfully attacks.

In order to overcome the limitations of the rule-based intrusion detection system due to changes in Internet computing environments, the emergence of new services, and creativity of attackers, network anomaly detection (NAD) using machine learning and deep learning technologies has received much attention. Most of these existing machine learning and deep learning technologies for NAD use supervised learning methods to learn a set of training data set labeled 'normal' and 'attack'. This paper presents the feasibility of the unsupervised learning AutoEncoder(AE) to NAD from data sets collecting of secured network traffic without labeled responses. To verify the performance of the proposed AE mode, we present the experimental results in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, and ROC AUC value on the NSL-KDD training and test data sets. In particular, we model a reference AE through the deep analysis of diverse AEs varying hyper-parameters such as the number of layers as well as considering the regularization and denoising effects. The reference model shows the f1-scores 90.4% and 89% of binary classification on the KDDTest+ and KDDTest-21 test data sets based on the threshold of the 82-th percentile of the AE reconstruction error of the training data set.

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) into our daily lives has grown rapidly. It's been integrated to our homes, cars, and cities, increasing the intelligence of devices involved in communications. Enormous amount of data is exchanged over smart devices through the internet, which raises security concerns in regards of privacy evasion. This paper is focused on the forensics and intrusion detection on one of the most common protocols in IoT environments, especially smart home environments, which is the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. The paper covers general IoT infrastructure, MQTT protocol and attacks conducted on it, and multiple network forensics frameworks in smart homes. Furthermore, a machine learning model is developed and tested to detect several types of attacks in an IoT network. A forensics tool (MQTTracker) is proposed to contribute to the investigation of MQTT protocol in order to provide a safer technological future in the warmth of people's homes. The MQTT-IOT-IDS2020 dataset is used to train the machine learning model. In addition, different attack detection algorithms are compared to ensure the suitable algorithm is chosen to perform accurate classification of attacks within MQTT traffic.

As new information and communication technologies evolve, security threats are also becoming increasingly intelligent and advanced. In this paper, we analyze the time series data continuously entered through a series of periods from the network device or lightweight IoT (Internet of Things) devices by using the statistical technique and propose a system to detect abnormal behaviors of the device or abnormality based on the analysis results. The proposed system performs the first level abnormal detection by using previously entered data set, thereafter performs the second level anomaly detection according to the trust bound configured by using stored time series data based on time attribute or group attribute. Multi-level analysis is able to improve reliability and to reduce false positives as well through a variety of decision data set.

Feature selection, one of data preprocessing techniques, is one of major research areas in many applications dealing with large dataset. It has been used in pattern recognition, machine learning and data mining, and is now widely applied in a variety of fields such as text classification, image retrieval, intrusion detection and genome analysis. The proposed method is based on a genetic algorithm which is one of meta-heuristic algorithms. There are two methods of finding feature subsets: a filter method and a wrapper method. In this study, we use a wrapper method, which evaluates feature subsets using a real classifier, to find an optimal feature subset. The training dataset used in the experiment has a severe class imbalance and it is difficult to improve classification performance for rare classes. After preprocessing the training dataset with SMOTE, we select features and evaluate them with various machine learning algorithms.

As the social and financial damages caused by APT attack such as 3.20 cyber terror are increased, the technical solution against APT attack is required. It is, however, difficult to protect APT attack with existing security equipments because the attack use a zero-day malware persistingly. In this paper, we propose a host based anomaly detection method to overcome the limitation of the conventional signature-based intrusion detection system. First, we defined 39 features to identify between normal and abnormal behavior, and then collected 8.7 million feature data set that are occurred during running both malware and normal executable file. Further, each process is represented as 83-dimensional vector that profiles the frequency of appearance of features. the vector also includes the frequency of features generated in the child processes of each process. Therefore, it is possible to represent the whole behavior information of the process while the process is running. In the experimental results which is applying C4.5 decision tree algorithm, we have confirmed 2.0% and 5.8% for the false positive and the false negative, respectively.

As modem web services become enormously complex, web attacks has become frequent and serious. Existing security solutions such as firewalls or signature-based intrusion detection systems are generally inadequate in securing web services, and analysis of raw web log data is simply impractical for most organizations. Visual display of "interpreted" web logs, with emphasis on anomalous web requests, is essential for an organization to efficiently track web usage patterns and detect possible web attacks. In this paper, we discuss various issues related to effective real-time visualization of web usage patterns and anomalies. We implemented a software tool named SAD (session anomaly detection) Viewer to satisfy such need and conducted an empirical study in which anomalous web traffics such as Misuse attacks, DoS attacks, Code-Red worms and Whisker scans were injected. Our study confirms that SAD Viewer is useful in assisting web security engineers to monitor web usage patterns in general and anomalous web sessions in particular.articular.
