Abstract
An approach for detecting anomalous flows in a network using header field entropy. This can be useful in detecting anomalous or malicious traffic that may attempt to 'hide' or inject itself into legitimate flows. A malicious endpoint might attempt to send a control message in underutilized header fields or might try to inject illegitimate data into a legitimate flow. These illegitimate flows will likely demonstrate header field entropy that is higher than legitimate flows. Detecting anomalous flows using header field entropy can help detect malicious endpoints.
