Abstract

Detecting user to root attacks is an important intrusion detection task. This paper uses a mix of spectrum kernels and probabilistic suffix trees as a possible solution for detecting such intrusions efficiently. Experimental results on two real world datasets show that the proposed approach outperforms the state of the art Fisher kernel based methods in terms of speed with no loss of accuracy.
