Publication Open Access Validation of HTTP response time from network traffic as an alternative to web browser instrumentation(IEEE, 2021) López Romera, Carlos; Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónThe measurement of response time in hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) requests is the most basic proxy measurement method for evaluating web browsing quality. It is used in the research literature and in application performance measurement instruments. During the development of a website, response time is obtained from in-browser measurements. After the website has been deployed, network traffic is used to continuously monitor activity, and the measurement data are used for service management and planning. In this study, we evaluate the accuracy of the measurements obtained from network traffic by comparing them with the in-browser measurement of resource load time. We evaluate the response times for encrypted and clear-text requests in an emulated network environment, in a laboratory deployment equivalent to a data centre network, and accessing popular web sites on the public Internet. The accuracy for response time measurements obtained from network traffic is noticeable higher for Internet long distance paths than for lowdelay paths (below 20 ms round-trip). The overhead of traffic encryption in secure HTTP requests has a negative effect on measurement accuracy, and we find relative measurement errors higher than 70% when using network traffic to infer HTTP response times comparedPublication Open Access Ransomware early detection by the analysis of file sharing traffic(Elsevier, 2018) Morató Osés, Daniel; Berrueta Irigoyen, Eduardo; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónCrypto ransomware is a type of malware that locks access to user files by encrypting them and demands a ransom in order to obtain the decryption key. This type of malware has become a serious threat for most enterprises. In those cases where the infected computer has access to documents in network shared volumes, a single host can lock access to documents across several departments in the company. We propose an algorithm that can detect ransomware action and prevent further activity over shared documents. The algorithm is based on the analysis of passively monitored traffic by a network probe. 19 different ransomware families were used for testing the algorithm in action. The results show that it can detect ransomware activity in less than 20 s, before more than 10 files are lost. Recovery of even those files was also possible because their content was stored in the traffic monitored by the network probe. Several days of traffic from real corporate networks were used to validate a low rate of false alarms. This paper offers also analytical models for the probability of early detection and the probability of false alarms for an arbitrarily large population of users.Publication Open Access Detección de congestión en la Internet europea(IEEE, 2007) Hernández, Ana; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Morató Osés, Daniel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaIn this paper we present a study about the utilization of one-way delay measurements to detect and characterize network congestion in the european Internet. The experiments have been made using the ETOMIC platfom that allows one-way delay measurement with high precision timestamps. We have found a peculiar router behaviour in which the bottleneck is not the available bandwidth but it is the packet processing power of the router (backplane and CPU constraints). This router has been characterized with several network parameters. Some of them are the dependency of this limitation with the input data rate in packets per second, the size of burst packet losses measured in packets or time and the absence of specific scheduling algorithms in the router that could affect to larger flows.Publication Open Access Crypto-ransomware detection using machine learning models in file-sharing network scenarios with encrypted traffic(Elsevier, 2022) Berrueta Irigoyen, Eduardo; Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaRansomware is considered as a significant threat for home users and enterprises. In corporate scenarios, users’ computers usually store only system and program files, while all the documents are accessed from shared servers. In these scenarios, one crypto-ransomware infected host is capable of locking the access to all shared files it has access to, which can be the whole set of files from a workgroup of users. We propose a tool to detect and block crypto-ransomware activity based on file-sharing traffic analysis. The tool monitors the traffic exchanged between the clients and the file servers and using machine learning techniques it searches for patterns in the traffic that betray ransomware actions while reading and overwriting files. This is the first proposal designed to work not only for clear text protocols but also for encrypted file-sharing protocols. We extract features from network traffic that describe the activity opening, closing, and modifying files. The features allow the differentiation between ransomware activity and high activity from benign applications. We train and test the detection model using a large set of more than 70 ransomware binaries from 33 different strains and more than 2,400 h of ‘not infected’ traffic from real users. The results reveal that the proposed tool can detect all ransomware binaries described, including those not used in the training phase. This paper provides a validation of the algorithm by studying the false positive rate and the amount of information from user files that the ransomware could encrypt before being detectedPublication Open Access Predicción de tráfico de Internet and aplicaciones(2001) Bernal, I.; Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Díez Marca, L. A.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaIn this paper we focus on traffic prediction as a means to achieve dynamic bandwidth allocation in a generic Internet link. Our findings show that coarse prediction (bytes per interval) proves advantageous to perform dynamic link dimensioning, even if we consider a part of the top traffic producers in the traffic predictor.Publication Open Access Mejoras en la identificación de tráfico de aplicación basado en firmas(2008) Santolaya Bea, Néstor; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Morató Osés, Daniel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaTraffic identification has been based traditionally on transport protocol ports, associating always the same ports with the same applications. Nowadays that assumption is not true and new methods like signature identification or statistical techniques are applied. This work presents a method based on signature identification with some improvements. The use of regular expressions for typical applications has been studied deeply and its use has been improved in the aspects of percentage identification and resources consumption. On the other hand, a flows-record structure has been applied in order to classify those packets that do not verify any regular expression. Results are compared with the opensource related project L7-filter, and the improvements are presented. Finally, detailed regular expressions for analyzed applications are included in the paper, especially P2P applications.Publication Open Access Use of CBR for IP over ATM(SPIE, 1997) Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Donézar, C.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaInternet traffic burstiness allows for statistical multiplexing gain in the available bandwidth of an ATM link. However, a dynamic allocation bandwidth assignment (ABR) has to be performed. In this paper we evaluate the real advantages of ABR versus CBR for Internet service provisioning. We consider performance parameters such as connection setup delay and active waiting time due to flow control and show that CBR schemes can be a good alternative for Internet service provisioning over ATM networks.Publication Open Access Midiendo retardos y pérdidas en las redes móviles de alta velocidad(2015) Prieto Suárez, Iria; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Morató Osés, Daniel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaMobile networks are constantly evolving, but still, due to their nature, it is not trivial to analayse how they face up different kinds of traffic. On the Internet a wide range of services can be found. Usually the majority send large packets, i.e Web services, but others, like VoIP, send small packets. The question is how the mobile networks manage all this traffic. In this work experiments to measure losses and times of sending different packet size bursts are described. Also, preliminary results for experiments with a real network mobile client, are analaysed showing that the performance of the network is different depending on the size of packet.Publication Open Access The European Traffic Observatory Measurement Infraestructure (ETOMIC): a testbed for universal active and passive measurements(IEEE, 2005) Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Alonso Camaró, Ulisses; Csabai, István; Hága, Péter; Simon, Gábor; Stéger, József; Vattay, Gábor; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaThe European Traffic Observatory is a European Union VI Framework Program sponsored effort, within the Integrated Project EVERGROW, that aims at providing a paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with highprecision, GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. This paper describes the system and node architectures, together with the management system. On the other hand, we also present the testing platform that is currently being used for testing ETOMIC nodes before actual deployment.Publication Open Access Open repository for the evaluation of ransomware detection tools(IEEE, 2020) Berrueta Irigoyen, Eduardo; Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónCrypto-ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts user files, deletes the original data, and asks for ransom to recover the hijacked documents. Several articles have presented detection techniques for this type of malware; these techniques are applied before the ransomware encrypts files or during its action in an infected host. The evaluation of these proposals has always been accomplished using sets of ransomware samples that are prepared locally for the research article, without making the data available. Different studies use different sets of samples and different evaluation metrics, resulting in insufficient comparability. In this paper, we describe a public data repository containing the file access operations of more than 70 ransomware samples during the encryption of a large network shared directory. These data have already been used successfully in the evaluation of a network-based ransomware detection algorithm. Now, we are making these data available to the community and describing their details, how they were captured, and how they can be used in the evaluation and comparison of the results of most ransomware detection techniques.
