From the Publisher:
"This book covers the basic statistical and analytical techniques of computer intrusion detection. It is aimed at both statisticians looking to become involved in the data analysis aspects of computer security and computer scientists looking to expand their toolbox of techniques for detecting intruders." "The book is self-contained, assuring no expertise in either computer security or statistics. It begins with a description of the basics of TCP/IP, followed by chapters dealing with network traffic analysis, network monitoring for intrusion detection, host-based intrusion detection, and computer viruses and other malicious code. Each section develops the necessary tools as needed. There is extensive discussion of visualization as it relates to network data and intrusion detection. The book also contains an extensive bibliography covering the statistical, machine learning, and pattern recognition literature related to network monitoring and intrusion detection."--BOOK JACKET.
