Systems and methods for password spraying identification and prevention using hash signature segmentation and behavior clustering analysis

Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for identification and verification of brute force attacks using hash signature segmentation and behavior clustering analysis. The present invention is configured to receive a plurality of access attempts and an associated plurality of hash values; determine a failure request load based on the plurality of access attempts; determine whether the failure request load meets a failure threshold, wherein, in an instance where the failure request load meets the failure threshold, separating the plurality of access attempts associated with the failure request load into a plurality of hash clusters; generate a behavior cluster for each hash cluster based on shared behavior data of the plurality of access attempts; and determine, based on the behavior cluster for each hash cluster, a likelihood of misappropriation for each access attempt of the plurality of access attempts.
