In Bioinformatics, text mining and text data mining sometimes interchangeably used is a process to derive high-quality information from text. Perl Status Reporter (SRr) is a data fetching tool from a flat text file and in this research…
System logs perform a critical function in software-intensive systems as logs record the state of the system and significant events in the system at important points in time. Unfortunately, log entries are typically created in an ad-hoc,…
Firewalls are critical components in securing communication networks by screening all incoming (and occasionally exiting) data packets. Filtering is carried out by comparing incoming data packets to a set of rules designed to prevent…
Logs are semi-structured text generated by logging statements in software source code. In recent decades, software logs have become imperative in the reliability assurance mechanism of many software systems because they are often the only…
Logs are widely used to record runtime information of software systems, such as the timestamp and the importance of an event, the unique ID of the source of the log, and a part of the state of a task's execution. The rich information of…
A very useful technique a network administrator can use to identify problematic network behavior is careful analysis of logs of incoming and outgoing network flows. The challenge one faces when attempting to undertake this course of action,…
Firewalls are security devices that perform network traffic filtering. They are ubiquitous in the industry and are a common method used to enforce organizational security policy. Security policy is specified on a high level of abstraction,…
Modern information and communication systems have become increasingly challenging to manage. The ubiquitous system logs contain plentiful information and are thus widely exploited as an alternative source for system management. As log files…
Cyber incidents can have a wide range of cause from a simple connection loss to an insistent attack. Once a potential cyber security incidents and system failures have been identified, deciding how to proceed is often complex. Especially,…
Semantic role labeling (SRL) is the process of detecting the predicate-argument structure of each predicate in a sentence. SRL plays a crucial role as a pre-processing step in many NLP applications such as topic and concept extraction,…
Security analysts routinely query system logs to detect threats and investigate incidents, but each log source uses its own semi-structured format: logs are cheap to produce, but expensive to use. The standard approach, building per-source…
Event log analysis is an important task that security professionals undertake. Event logs record key information on activities that occur on computing devices, and due to the substantial number of events generated, they consume a large…
SIP-based networks are becoming the de-facto standard for voice, video and instant messaging services. Being exposed to many threats while playing an major role in the operation of essential services, the need for dedicated security…
Log parsing has been a long-studied area in software engineering due to its importance in identifying dynamic variables and constructing log templates. Prior work has proposed many statistic-based log parsers (e.g., Drain), which are highly…
Log files contain information about User Name, IP Address, Time Stamp, Access Request, number of Bytes Transferred, Result Status, URL that Referred and User Agent. The log files are maintained by the web servers. By analysing these log…
Reports and press releases highlight that security incidents continue to plague organizations. While researchers and practitioners' alike endeavor to identify and implement realistic security solutions to prevent incidents from occurring,…
Logs, being run-time information automatically generated by software, record system events and activities with their timestamps. Before obtaining more insights into the run-time status of the software, a fundamental step of log analysis,…
Logs are widely used in modern software system management because they are often the only data accessible that record system events at runtime. In recent years, because of the ever-increasing log size, data mining techniques are often…
Incident Response Planning (IRP) is essential for effective cybersecurity management, requiring detailed documentation (or playbooks) to guide security personnel during incidents. Yet, creating comprehensive IRPs is often hindered by…
Due to the sheer size of software logs, developers rely on automated log analysis. Log parsing, which parses semi-structured logs into a structured format, is a prerequisite of automated log analysis. However, existing log parsers are…
