Abstract

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) demand for sophisticated traceability solutions capable of providing deep insight into the movements of the attacker through the victim’s network at all times. However, traditional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) cannot attain this level of sophistication and more advanced solutions are necessary to cope with these threats. A promising approach in this regard is Opinion Dynamics, which has proven to work effectively both theoretically and in realistic scenarios. On this basis, we revisit this consensus-based approach in an attempt to generalize a detection framework for the traceability of APTs under a realistic attacker model. Once the framework is defined, we use it to develop a distributed detection technique based on clustering, which contrasts with the consensus technique applied by Opinion Dynamics and interestingly returns comparable results.
