Abstract
Methods, apparatus and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include collecting data packets transmitted between multiple entities over a network, and grouping the packets at least according to their source and destination entities and their times, into connections to which the packets belong. Pairs of the connections are identified having identical source and destination entities and times that are together within a specified time window, and sets of features are generated for the identified pairs of the connections. The features in the pairs are evaluated in order to detect a given pair of connections indicating malicious activity, and an alert is generated for the malicious activity.
