Abstract: There are provided a system and method for tracing back an attacker by using centroid decomposition technique, the system including: a log data input module collecting log data of an intrusion alarm from an intrusion detection system; a centroid node detection module generating a shortest path tree by applying a shortest path algorithm to network router connection information collected by a network administration server, detecting a centroid node by applying centroid decomposition technique removing a leaf-node to the shortest path tree, and generating a centroid tree whose node of each level is the detected centroid node; and a traceback processing module requesting log data of a router matched with the node of each level of the centroid tree, and tracing back a router identical to the log data of the collected intrusion alarm as a router connected to a source of an attacker by comparing the log data of the router with the log data of the collected intrusion alarm.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for extracting user information using a client-based script in which user information including the internet protocol (IP) addresses of an attacking host and an anonymous proxy server used by the attacking host can be collected using a client-based script that can be automatically executed in the web browser of the attacking host. According to the apparatus and the method, it is possible to detect the location of an attacking host without alerting the attacking host by using a script that can be automatically executed in a web browser of the attacking host without any program installation. In addition, according to the apparatus and the method, it is possible to collect the IP addresses of an attacking host and an anonymous proxy server, if any, used by the attacking host by directly connecting the attacking host and a monitoring server.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the security status of a wireless network is provided. The apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) signal collection unit which collects at least one piece of RF signal information; a security event information collection unit which collects security event information including at least one of traffic information and alert information; a security event information mapping unit which maps the RF signal information and the security event information based on the correlation between the RF signal information and the security event information; and a security event information display unit which displays the result of the mapping performed by the security event information mapping unit.

Abstract: There are provided a network state display apparatus and method capable of easily determining a present network security state in real time by analyzing an abnormality and harmful traffic deteriorating performance of a network in software by using a result of combining essential characteristics of traffic, a distinct dispersion, and an entropy and displaying the network state to be intuitionally recognized, the method including selecting and combining three of a source address, a source port, a destination address, and a destination port of collected traffic and calculating a distinct dispersion and an entropy of a residual one therefrom; displaying the calculated distinct dispersion and entropy on a security radar where the distinct dispersion and the entropy are assigned to an angle and a radius; determining whether a network state is abnormal, based on a result displayed on the security radar; and detecting reporting detailed information on abnormal traffic causing the abnormal network state.

Abstract: There are provided a network security state visualization device and method, the device including: a security event collector collecting original security event information from network security apparatuses; a security event analyzer analyzing the original security event information collected by the security event collector and extracting characteristic data corresponding to a security event; and a three-dimensional visualization display unit visualizing a correlation between the characteristic data extracted by the security event analyzer as a three-dimensional screen to be displayed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for visualizing a network condition related to a network security are provided. The apparatus includes a traffic feature extracting unit, a network condition displaying unit, and a traffic abnormal condition determining unit. The traffic feature extracting unit extracts information including source address, source port, destination address, and destination port from network traffics, selects two of the extracted information, and calculates unique dispersion degrees of two unselected information. The network condition displaying unit displays a two-dimensional cube expressed using the calculated unique dispersion degrees for the classified traffics. The traffic abnormal condition determining unit determines whether the traffics are in an abnormal condition or not based on the two-dimensional security cube.

Abstract: Disclosed is a GIS based network information monitoring system that intuitively combines GIS based geographic information with traffic information and a security event, expresses the combined geographic information on a display, and does not need position calibration of network information when the traffic information and the security event are expressed.

Abstract: Provided are a web-based traceback system and method using reverse caching proxy, which can effectively protect a web server against various attacks launched by illegitimate user by acquiring network information and location information of users who attempt to access the web server through an anonymous server, without a requirement of installing any agent program in the users' clients.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for detecting a network attack situation.
