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. The web-based traceback system may include a reverse caching proxy server receiving a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) packet transmitted to a web server by a client, analyzing the header of the HTTP packet and determining whether the client has attempted to access the web server through an anonymous server based on the results of the analysis; and a web tracking server generating a response page for the HTTP packet upon receiving the results of the determination performed by the reverse caching proxy server, inserting a tracking code in the response page, and providing the response page to the client through the reverse caching proxy server, wherein the tracking code is automatically executed in a web browser of the client and thus provides network information of the client to the web tracking server.

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. According to the system and method, an attacker causing a security intrusion event may be quickly detected, a load on the system is reduced, and a passage host exposed to a danger or having weaknesses may be easily recognized, thereby easily coping with an attack.

There are provided an apparatus and method for sampling a security event based on contents of the security event, the apparatus including: a security event accumulation module collecting security events occurring in a network system and storing the security events for each type according to contents of the security event; a security event analysis module calculating distribution of the security events for each type by analyzing the stored security events; and a security event extraction module sampling the stored security events according to the calculated distribution of the security events for each type. The apparatus and method may improve speed of visualization of a security event and a security event analysis apparatus and may increase accuracy thereof.
