Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a method performed by a computer system. The method includes forming groups of traffic, where each group includes a subset of detected connection requests. The method further includes determining a periodicity of connection requests for each group, identifying a particular group based on whether the periodicity of connection requests of the particular group satisfies a periodicity criterion, determining a frequency of the particular group in the traffic, and identifying the particular group as an anomaly based on whether the frequency of the particular group satisfies a frequency criterion.
