Abstract
After an intrusion has propagated between hosts, or even between networks, determining the propagation path is critical to assess exploited network vulnerabilities, and also to determine the vector and intent of the initial intrusion. This work proposes a novel method for malware intrusion attack path reconstruction that extends post-mortem system state comparison methods with network-level correlation and timeline analysis. This work shows that intrusion-related events can be reconstructed at the host level and correlated between related hosts and networks to reconstruct the overall path of an attack. A case study is given that demonstrates the applicability of the attack path reconstruction technique.
