Multi-Resolution Analysis with Visualization to Determine Network Attack Patterns

Constructing multi-resolution triangulated irregular network model for visualization

It is essential to generate multi-resolution triangulated irregular network (TIN) models dynamically and efficiently in three-dimensional (3D) visualization, virtual reality (VR), and geographic information systems (GIS), because the data processed is multiple in scale and large in volume. This paper proposes a new approach, which extends the iterative edge collapses and vertex splits algorithm...

Visualization Of A Data Leak How Can Visualization Assist To Determine The Scope Of An Attack?

The potential impact that data leakage can have on a country, both on a national level as well as on an individual level, can be wide reaching and potentially catastrophic. In January 2013, several South African companies became the target of a hack attack, resulting in the breach of security measures and the leaking of a claimed 700000 records. The affected companies are spread across a number...

Live Attack Visualization and Analysis

Discovering Collaborative Cyber Attack Patterns Using Social Network Analysis

This paper investigates collaborative cyber attacks based on social network analysis. An Attack Social Graph (ASG) is defined to represent cyber attacks on the Internet. Features are extracted from ASGs to analyze collaborative patterns. We use principle component analysis to reduce the feature space, and hierarchical clustering to group attack sources that exhibit similar behavior. Experiments...

A General Framework for Multi-Resolution Visualization

Multi-resolution visualization (MRV) systems are widely used for handling large amounts of information. These systems look different but they share many common features. The visualization research community lacks a general framework that summarizes the common features among the wide variety of MRV systems in order to help in MRV system design, analysis, and enhancement. This dissertation propos...
