Bayesian Models for Targeted Cyber Deception Strategies (Student Abstract)

The work proposes a decision support system based on a Bayesian belief network to guide cyber deception strategies from a detailed model of attacker beliefs, illustrated with a case study using passively observed operating system fingerprinting data. The authors compare the model's prediction accuracy with a sequential artificial neural network and introduce a deception algorithm to select a minimal set of features whose modification would make a system appear as a different operating system.
