Research and Analysis of User Behavior Fingerprint on Security Situational Awareness Based on DNS Log

Abstract

Before accessing Internet websites or applications, network users first ask the Domain Name System (DNS) for the corresponding IP address, and then the user's browser or application accesses the required resources through the IP address. The server log of DNS keeps records of all users' requesting queries. This paper analyzes the user network accessing behavior by analyzing network DNS log in campus, constructing a behavior fingerprint model for each user. Different users and even same user's fingerprints in different periods can be used to determine whether the user's access is abnormal or safe, whether it is infected with malicious code. After detecting the behavior of abnormal user accessing, preventing the spread of viruses, Trojans, bots and attacks is made possible, which further assists the protection of users' network access security through corresponding techniques. Finally, analysis of user behavior fingerprints of campus network access is conducted.
