Unlike previous work, this study proposes an unsupervised neural models that generate an intuitive visualization of the captured traffic, rather than network statistics. These snapshots of network events are immensely useful for security personnel that monitor network behavior. The system is based on the use of different neural projection and unsupervised methods for the visual inspection of honeypot data, and may be seen as a complementary network security tool that sheds light on internal data structures through visual inspection of the traffic itself. Furthermore, it is intended to facilitate verification and assessment of Snort performance (a well-known and widely-used misuse-based IDS), through the visualization of attack patterns. Empirical verification and comparison of the proposed projection methods are performed in a real domain, where two different case studies are defined and analyzed PB World Scientific Publishing SN 0129-0657 YR 2012 FD 2012-04 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3861 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3861 LA eng NO Regional Government of Gipuzkoa, the Department of Research, Education and Universities of the Basque Government, and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN) under projects TIN2010-21272-C02-01 and CIT-020000-2009-12 (funded by the European Regional Development Fund).
