US Patent 10284584 Methods and systems for improving beaconing detection algorithms

A method (and structure) includes receiving, as input data into a computer-implemented processing procedure, at least one listing of at least one of time series data and potential candidate periods of potential beaconing activity. The input data is processed, using a processor on a computer, to evaluate the input data as if the input data represents data points of an input analog signal subject to principles of communication theory and having determinable statistical characteristics.
