Improving Long-term Accuracy of DNS Backscatter for Monitoring of Internet-Wide Malicious Activity (poster). Qadeer, A., Heidemann, J., & Fukuda, K. Technical Report ISI-TR-2016-707, USC/Information Sciences Institute, April, 2016. Paper abstract bibtex Internet-wide malicious activities are prevalent on the Internet. Such activities include the malicious, like spamming and scanning, and the benign, like large e-mailing lists and content delivery networks. We've previously shown that they can be detected centrally with DNS backscatter, and developed a classifier using supervised learning. However, long-term detection is difficult because activities rapidly change with time to evade detection or as they naturally evolve, and manual training is expensive. Our solution: we extend backscatter-based detection by identifying: how behavior evolves, how often we need to retrain, and how to retrain without human supervision. Details are in the attached poster.

Internet-wide malicious activities are prevalent on the Internet. Such activities
include the malicious, like spamming and scanning,

benign, like large e-mailing lists and content delivery networks.
We've previously shown that they can be detected centrally with
DNS backscatter, and developed a classifier using supervised learning.
However, long-term detection is difficult because activities rapidly
change with time to evade detection or as they naturally evolve, and
manual training is expensive.
Our solution: we extend backscatter-based detection by identifying:
