Abstract: An activity process list (330) is a list in which an attack type identifier and an activity process identifier are associated with each other. An operation process list (340) is a list in which an operation-source process identifier and an operation-destination process identifier are associated with each other. An indirect process searching unit (230) searches for a set of indirect process identifiers using the activity process list and the operation process list, the set of indirect process identifiers corresponding to a set of activity process identifiers associated with different attack type identifiers, and corresponding to a set of an operation-source process identifier and an operation-destination process identifier.

Abstract: A communication terminal (200) propagates a distance packet, and the distance packet is transmitted to a location identification apparatus (300) via an access point (110). The distance packet includes a start-point distance, an end-point distance, and a terminal distance. The start-point distance is a distance between a start-point terminal and a start-point point, which is an access point detected by the start-point terminal. The end-point distance is a distance between an end-point terminal and an end-point point, which is an access point detected by the end-point terminal. The terminal distance is a distance between each other of communication terminals. The location identification apparatus identifies a location of each communication terminal based on distances included in the distance packet, coordinate values of the start-point point, and coordinate values of the end-point point.

Abstract: An association degree computation unit computes a same period probability between respective types of events that occurred during a same period, based on occurrence times of log data, and computes an association degree between the respective types, using the same period probability. A corresponding type identification unit identifies the types corresponding to each other, using the association degree computed by the association degree computation unit. The log association unit generates synthesized log data that makes association between the log data of the corresponding types identified by the corresponding event identification unit and with the occurrence times thereof included in the same period.
