Pattern-Oriented Network Forensics

In February, 2015 we plan a lecture which introduces a pattern language for network forensics - investigation of captured network traces for patterns of abnormal network traffic behavior. It provides a unified language for discussing and communicating detection and analysis results, a base language for checklists, and an aid in accelerated learning. Pattern-oriented network forensics is based on a synthesis of pattern-oriented network trace analysis with malware narrative approach including malnarratives and complements pattern-oriented memory forensics.
