Man vs. Machine -

ABSTRACT

This talk will present our recent results that detail the classification of human-based ssh traffic as compared to machine-based scp traffic. Since both of these services, ssh and scp, use the same port, port 22, this classification problem occurs within a quite natural framework. Results that illustrate an exploratory analysis of the data will be presented along with some preliminary classification results.
