Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying potentially compromised devices using attributes of a known compromised device may be provided. In one embodiment, an attribute set can be constructed for the compromised hosts using data from these logs. Weights can be assigned to each attribute in the attribute set initially, and further weights can be learned using audits by a user. This attribute set can be used in the disclosed systems and methods for identifying hosts that are similar to compromised hosts. The similar items can be used as hosts for deception mechanisms, can be taken off the network as being likely compromised or likely to become compromised, or quarantined.
