Automatic Detection Of Abnormal Behavior In Computing Systems, James Frank Roberts
Automatic Detection Of Abnormal Behavior In Computing Systems, James Frank Roberts
Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science
I present RAACD, a software suite that detects misbehaving computers in large computing systems and presents information about those machines to the system administrator. I build this system using preexisting anomaly detection techniques. I evaluate my methods using simple synthesized data, real data containing coerced abnormal behavior, and real data containing naturally occurring abnormal behavior. I find that the system adequately detects abnormal behavior and significantly reduces the amount of uninteresting computer health data presented to a system administrator.
