"Machine Learning and Data Mining for Computer Security" provides an
overview of the current state of research in machine learning and data
mining as it applies to problems in computer security. The first part
surveys the data sources, the learning and mining methods, evaluation
methodologies, and past work relevant for computer security. The
second part consists of articles written by the top researchers working
in this area. These articles deal with topics of host-based intrusion
detection through the analysis of audit trails, of command sequences
and of system calls as well as network intrusion detection through the
analysis of TCP packets and the detection of malicious executables.
