Abstract

Network security and robustness is analyzed by developing correlations among network maliciousness observations to determine attack susceptibility. Network traffic is analyzed at the autonomous system (AS) level, among connected Internet Protocol (IP) routing prefixes, to identify these observations. The traffic is monitored for any of a number of specified mismanagement metrics. Correlations among these metrics are determined and a unified network mismanagement metric is developed, indicating network susceptibility to potentially malicious attack.
