Visual correlation of host processes and network traffic

In: VizSEC: Proceedings of the IEEE Workshop on Visualization for Computer Security, pages 11–19.

Anomalous communication patterns are one of the leading indicators of computer system intrusions according to the system administrators we have interviewed. But a major problem is being able to correlate across the host/network boundary to see how network connections are related to running processes on a host. This paper introduces Portall, a visualization tool that gives system administrators a view of the communicating processes on the monitored machine correlated with the network activity in which the processes participate. Portall is a prototype of part of the Network Eye framework we have introduced in an earlier paper (Ball, et al., 2004). We discuss the Portall visualization, the supporting infrastructure it requires, and a formative usability study we conducted to obtain administrators? reactions to the tool.
