Abstract
Systems and methods to reverse-predict a MAC address associated with a computing device are described. In one embodiment, first temporal communication data associated with the computing device is accessed for a first time interval. The first temporal communication data is converted into a first image. Second temporal communication data associated with the computing device is accessed for a second time interval. The second temporal communication data is converted into a second image. An image ensemble including the first image and the second image is analyzed using a neural network. Each image in the image ensemble is converted from temporal communication data associated with the computing device. The neural network learns a temporal pattern associated with the image ensemble. Current temporal communication data associated with the computing device is accessed and converted into a current image. The current image is compared with the temporal pattern. A MAC address associated with the computing device is reverse-predicted responsive to the comparison.
