Large Data Archives Project Angle Anomaly Detection Project

Angle Anomaly Detection Project

Angle Anomaly Detection project was created to monitor network traffic and to detect unknown anomalous events. Network health is monitored by capturing packets at multiple Internet locations and detecting new traffic trends and sudden changes.

Each packet's network address along with all identifiable information is hashed using a salt and the payload is zeroed before writing to disk. Hash salts are changed every 10-100 million packets. Each packet is geo-tagged to a country of origin and destination. Captured files are then processed to define behavior clusters. Cluster definition changes are monitored across local/global data domains for changes, trends and events.

The most recent data product is DR6, which was released on June, 2007.
