Abstract

This paper discusses our research in developinga generalized and systematic method for anomaly detection.The key ideas are to represent normal program behaviourusing system call frequencies and to incorporateprobabilistic techniques for classification to detectanomalies and intrusions. Using experiments on thesendmail system call data, we demonstrate that concise andaccurate classifiers can be constructed to detect anomalies.An overview of the approach that we have implemented isprovided.
