Abstract

A method for improving a detection of beaconing activity includes receiving input data into a computer-implemented processing procedure at least one listing of at least one of time series data and candidate periods of potential beaconing activity. The input data is processed, to detect candidates of potential beaconing activity. By further evaluating the time series data using techniques used for evaluating an analog signal, the performance of detecting of potential beaconing activity is improved to eliminate false positive indications of beaconing activity and/or to provide indication of multiple interleaved periodicities of beaconing.
