Port scan detection algorithms based on statistical traffic features

Abstract

A slowly port scan detect method was presented based on the statistical traffic features.Two statistical features: the ratio between the number of hosts and ports a host communicates and similarities of the ports set,were selected to denote the traffic features.The CUSUM and wavelet transform methods were employed to analyze the features and detect the slowly port scan behaviors.The experimental results show that the methods proposed detect port scan behaviors effi-ciently and correctly,it has low false negative and false positive alarm rate compared with the Snort.
