This paper presents an automated detection method based on classification of network traffic using predefined set of network metrics. We proposed the set of metrics with focus on behavior of buffer overflow attacks and their sufficient description without the need of deep packet inspection. In this paper we describe two laboratory experiments of automated detection of buffer overflow attacks on vulnerable network services and their description by proposed set of network metrics. We present the principles of several chosen network metrics and their application on experimental attacks according to their nature in comparison to valid communication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
