  • Patent number: 10963562
    Abstract: A playback device reads a traffic file which is a dump file of traffic when malicious or benign traffic is generated and generates traffic based on the traffic file on a network having a security instrument that generates an event in accordance with the traffic. In addition, a determination device collects an event generated by the security instrument for the generated traffic and, on the basis of a feature extracted from the collected event, determines whether the event to be determined is for malicious traffic or benign traffic.

  • Patent number: 10721244
    Abstract: A traffic feature information extraction method including a regular expression process, a clustering process, and a feature information extraction process. The regular expression process extracts an item set in advance from a traffic log and represents a partial character string included in the item in a regular expression based on a predetermined rule. The clustering process clusters an entry of the traffic log represented in the regular expression. The feature information extraction process extracts, as traffic feature information of each of clusters, an entry having a minimum total sum of distances among entries included in the clustered traffic logs.

  • Patent number: 10516671
    Abstract: A blacklist generating device acquires a malicious communication log and a normal communication log. A malicious communication profile extracting function calculates statistics on communication patterns included in the malicious communication log and outputs a communication pattern satisfying a certain condition to a potential blacklist. A normal communication profile extracting function calculates statistics on communication patterns included in the normal communication log and outputs a communication pattern satisfying a certain condition to a whitelist. A blacklist creating function searches the potential blacklist for a value with the value on the whitelist, excludes a coincident communication pattern from the potential blacklist, and creates a blacklist.

  • Patent number: 10511618
    Abstract: A malicious URL candidate extraction device extracts, from an access log including URLs accessed from a managed network, a known malicious URL excluded access log obtained by excluding an access log to known malicious URLs. The malicious URL candidate extraction device creates a minor URL list obtained by preferentially extracting, from URLs indicated in the known malicious URL excluded access log, URLs having a small number of times of access from the managed network. The malicious URL candidate extraction device also creates a popular URL excluded list obtained by preferentially excluding URLs having a large number of times of access from the managed network during a predetermined period of time. The malicious URL candidate extraction device outputs these lists as a malicious URL candidate list.

  • Patent number: 10462158
    Abstract: A URL selection method disclosed in the present application includes a first extraction step and a second extraction step. The first extraction step extracts URLs up to an upper limit value of the number of URLs set to each of URL groups in a range where a total number of URLs is within a predetermined number of URLs, in order of priority set to each of the URL groups, from each of the URL groups identified by analyzing a traffic log by techniques in different categories. The second extraction step further extracts URLs within the predetermined number of URLs, based on the priority, when the total number of URLs extracted from each of the URL groups in the first extraction step is less than the predetermined number of URLs.
