Honeycomb: creating intrusion detection signatures using honeypots

Kreibich, Christian, Crowcroft, Jon·2004·ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review

Abstract

This paper describes a system for automated generation of attack signatures for network intrusion detection systems. Our system applies pattern-matching techniques and protocol conformance checks on multiple levels in the protocol hierarchy to network traffic captured a honeypot system. We present results of running the system on an unprotected cable modem connection for 24 hours. The system successfully created precise traffic signatures that otherwise would have required the skills and time of a security officer to inspect the traffic manually.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
