Characterizing Malcode Evolution
Gupta, Archit; Kuppili, Pavan; Akella, Aditya; Barford, Paul (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2007)The diversity, sophistication and availability of malicious software (malcode) pose enormous challenges for securing networks and end hosts from attacks. In this paper, we analyze a large corpus of malcode meta data ... -
A Comparison of Active and Passive Methods for Measuring Packet Loss
Barford, Paul; Sommers, Joel (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2002) -
A Dictionary Architecture for Optimized Intra-Domain Routing
Barford, Paul; Chabarek, Joseph (2013-03-18)The unpredictability of outages and traffic dynamics require network engineers to keep careful watch on their infrastructures.When significant changes are identified, engineers often tweak link weights (i.e., traffic ... -
A Framework for Malicious Workload Generation
Sommers, Joel; Yegneswaran, Vinod; Barford, Paul (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2004)Malicious traffic from self-propagating worms and denial-of-service attacks constantly threatens the everyday operation of Internet systems. Defending networks from these threats demands appropriate tools to conduct ... -
Global Intrusion Detection in the DOMINO Overlay System
Yegneswaran, Vinod; Barford, Paul; Jha, Somesh (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2003)Sharing data between widely distributed intrusion detection systems offers the possibility of significant improvements in speed and accuracy over systems operating in isolation. In this paper, we describe and evaluate ... -
Honeygames: A Game Theoretic Approach to Defending Network Monitors
Cai, Jin-Yi; Yegneswaran, Vinod; Alfeld, Chris; Barford, Paul (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2006)A honeynet is a portion of routed but otherwise unused address space that is instrumented for network traffic monitoring. Over the past several years, honeynets have proven to be an invaluable tool for understanding the ... -
Internet Intrusions: Global Characteristics and Prevalence
Yegneswaran, Vinod; Barford, Paul; Ullrich, Johannes (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2002) -
Internet Multi-Resolution Analysis: A Vision and Framework in Support of Representing, Analyzing and Visualizing Internet Measurements
Barford, Paul; Partridge, Craig; Williinger, Walter (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2008)Empirical analysis has been the foundation for a great deal of network research and has resulted in significant improvements to Internet systems, protocols and practices. Recent progress applying a constantly expanding set ... -
Internet Sieve: An Architecture for Generating Resilient Signatures
Yegneswaran, Vinod; Giffin, Jonathon; Barford, Paul; Jha, Somesh (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2004)We present iSieve, a modular architecture for identifying intrusion profiles in packet trace data and automatically constructing resilient signatures for the profiles. The first component of the architecture organizes and ... -
Modeling Congestion in Backbone Routers
Gast, Jim; Barford, Paul (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2002) -
NSF Workshop on Emerging Research Opportunities at the Intersection of Statistics and Internet Measurement Final Report
Barford, Paul; Ng, Tony (2023-11-30)The Workshop on Emerging Research Opportunities at the Intersection of Statistics and Internet Measurement was held in January 2023 at Boston University. The goal of the workshop was to bring together Internet measurement ... -
On the Design and Use of Internet Sinks for Network Abuse Monitoring
Yegneswaran, Vinod; Barford, Paul; Plonka, Dave (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2004)Network abuse monitoring (eg., for intrusions and denial of service attacks) is an important component in security architecture. Monitoring unused IP addresses offers opportunities to significantly improve perspective on ... -
