There are two ways to get normal behavior:1. you make sure that while capturing the data, no attack is being launched. this is rather a costly assumption, as you need to ensure a closed environment (like DARPA or some other data sets, available on NET). 2. It is assumed that normal to abnormal ratio is 100:5 (+-2) ( see the work of Eskin, university of Columbia). therefore, if we see this data from statistical point of view, abnormal data should be seen as outlier. in other words, if you apply some statistical (or other DM/ML) techniques, you should be able to filter outliers, thus abnormal traffic.
I hope it will give some insight. Sanjay At 11:41 AM 10/6/2005, Nakul Aggarwal wrote:
Hi everyone, I am working on a project of behavioral anomaly detection. In some of the papers I read, authors talk about the difficulty of accurate definition of "normal" behavior but after that they either use standard data sets(MIT ones or KDD) or just say "first normal behavior was learnt and and then evaluations are performed." But how normal behavior was defined/learnt, that no-one tells. Can someone throw some light on this?
