    Abstract: A method comprises receiving, at a network infrastructure device, a flow of packets, determining, using the network infrastructure device and for a first subset of the packets, that the first subset corresponds to a first datagram and determining a first length of the first datagram, determining, using the network infrastructure device and for a second subset of the packets, that the second subset corresponds to a second datagram that was received after the first datagram, and determining a second length of the second datagram, determining, using the network infrastructure device, a duration value between a first arrival time of the first datagram and a second arrival time of the second datagram, sending, to a collector device that is separate from the network infrastructure device, the first length, the second length, and the duration value for analysis.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network maintains a plurality of machine learning-based detectors for an intrusion detection system. Each detector is associated with a different portion of a feature space of traffic characteristics assessed by the intrusion detection system. The device provides data regarding the plurality of detectors to a user interface. The device receives an adjustment instruction from the user interface based on the data provided to the user interface regarding the plurality of detectors. The device adjusts the portions of the feature space associated with the plurality of detectors based on the adjustment instruction received from the user interface.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving network performance data for a computer network; receiving, from an intrusion detection system, network anomaly data indicating a plurality of anomalies that have occurred in the computer network; based, at least in part, on the network performance data and the network anomaly data, generating feature data; for each anomaly of the plurality of anomalies, using the feature data to determine a minimal set of features that distinguishes the anomaly from non-anomalies in the plurality of anomalies, and creating a mapping of the anomaly to the minimal set of features; based at least in part on the mapping, generating explanation rules for the plurality of anomalies; for a particular anomaly, identifying a particular rule of the explanation rules that is associated with the particular anomaly, and generating explanation data for the particular anomaly based upon the particular rule.

    Abstract: Rapidly detecting network threats with targeted detectors includes, at a computing device having connectivity to a network, determining features of background network traffic. Features are also extracted from a particular type of network threat. A characteristic of the particular type of network threat that best differentiates the features of the particular type of network threat from the features of the background network traffic is determined. A targeted detector for the particular type of network threat is created based on the characteristic and an action is applied to particular incoming network traffic identified by the targeted detector as being associated with the particular type of network threat.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving client-server connection data for clients and servers, the data including IP addresses corresponding to the servers, for each one of a plurality of IP address pairs performing a statistical test to determine whether the IP addresses in the one IP address pair are related by common clients based on the number of the clients connecting to each of the IP addresses in the one IP address pair, generating a graph including a plurality of vertices and edges, each of the vertices corresponding to a different IP address, each edge corresponding to a different IP address pair determined to be related by common clients in the statistical test, and clustering the vertices yielding clusters, a subset of the IP addresses in one of the clusters providing an indication of the IP addresses of the servers serving a same application.

    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for classifying devices as being infected with malware based on learned indicators of compromise. A method includes receiving at a security analysis device, traffic flows from a plurality of entities destined for a plurality of users, aggregating the traffic flows into discrete bags of traffic, wherein the bags of traffic comprise a plurality of flows of traffic for a given user over a predetermined period of time, extracting features from the bags of traffic and aggregating the features into per-flow feature vectors, aggregating the per-flow feature vectors into per-destination domain aggregated vectors, combining the per-destination-domain aggregated vectors into a per-user aggregated vector, and classifying a computing device used by a given user as infected with malware when indicators of compromise detected in the bags of traffic indicate that the per-user aggregated vector for the given user includes suspicious features among the extracted features.
