Zero Touch Provisioning in NETCONF Server
Vican, Pavol ; Žádník, Martin (referee) ; Wrona, Jan (advisor)
Computer network administrators need advanced tools to configure network devices. For this purpose, the NETCONF protocol and the YANG modeling language were developed. The aim of this thesis is to implement the Zero Touch mechanism that serves the initial configuration of the NETCONF server. This mechanism will be integrated into the sysrepo datastore.

Analysis of Network Security Alerts
Dobeš, Erik ; Žádník, Martin (referee) ; Wrona, Jan (advisor)
The goal of this work is to find groups of IP addresses in network security reports, which were detected in the same, or very similar, time interval. The work introduces an algorithm, which transforms data from security reports into time series. Between all the time series, similar pairs are searched. Subsequently, in the found pairs, we are looking for similar threesomes, in which we try to find similar foursomes, etc. The created solution successfully found 208 similar groups in the set of analyzed data, the largest of which contains 11 similar IP addresses. Based on the data found it is possible to detect machines that are part of the so-called botnet in network security reports.

Identification of Application Protocols
Wrona, Jan ; Bartoš, Václav (referee) ; Kořenek, Jan (advisor)
This thesis is focused on identification of application protocols with emphasizing the speed of their recognition and following possibility of hardware implementation. Nowadays tools are not suitable for fast identification of application protocols in current network monitoring devices, because the decision is not provided for the first packets of network flow. Therefore this thesis propose new model for fast and reliable identification of application protocols. The model was implemented and tested on HTTP, SIP, SMTP and DNS protocols and results were compared to regular expressions and nDPI and libprotoident libraries. For all these protocols, the proposed model has comparable accuracy to other methods, but also provides fast result based on the first packets of the flow.

A New Generation of an IPFIX Collector
Huták, Lukáš ; Žádník, Martin (referee) ; Wrona, Jan (advisor)
This master's thesis addresses processing of flow monitoring records from a point of view of an IPFIX collector. It analysis the current solution of the modular collector, which went through considerable historical development, and focuses on revealing its strengths and weaknesses. Based on acquired knowledge, a new collector is designed. The new solution, which significantly modifies individual components for processing of flow records, focuses on high throughput and adds missing functionalities. The document also compares performance of both generations and the new collector clearly dominates.

System for Protection against DoS Attacks
Šiška, Pavel ; Wrona, Jan (referee) ; Kučera, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the design and implementation of the software part of the system for protection against DoS attacks. Nowadays Denial of Service attacks are quite common and can cause significant financial damage to internet or service providers. The main goal of this thesis was to provide software, which is focused on high-speed data throughput and can provide efficient protection against these attacks in 100 Gbps networks. Key part of the system, which is being developed in cooperation with CESNET, is hardware-accelerated network interface card, which can process incoming network traffic at full wire-speed and does the operations laid down by the software part. The main task of the software is evaluation of the information about network traffic and managing actions of the hardware accelerator. The software part of the proposed system has been successfully implemented and the properties of the system have been verified in an experimental evaluation. During the work on this thesis the first implementation of the system has already been deployed in CESNET network infrastructure.

Similarity Searching in Network Data
Hud, Jakub ; Krobot, Pavel (referee) ; Wrona, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is interested in analyzing IP flow records. IP flow record contains IP flow metadata of specific network communication such as IP addresses, port numbers, network protocol numbers and other. Main goal is to design and implement metrices to determine similarity of NetFlow records. At the beginning of this thesis is description of how to analyze great amount of data. Next there are shown network monitoring technicies and NetFlow. Other parts of this thesis are dedicated to design and implementation of data analysis using DBSCAN algorithm. Implementation of data analysis application is also part of this thesis. As a result, the application can be used to network scan detection using NetFlow data although the results are not very clear and contain a lot of legitimate communication.

Module for Network Policy Monitoring in Flow Data
Piecek, Adam ; Kučera, Jan (referee) ; Wrona, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this master's thesis is to design a language through which it would be possible to monitor a stream of network flows in order to detect network policy violations in the local network. An analysis of the languages used in the data stream management systems and an analysis of tasks submitted by the potential administrator were both carried out. The analysis specified resulted in the language design which represents pipelining consisting of filtering and aggregation. These operations can be clearly defined and managed within security rules. The result of this thesis also results in the Policer modul being integrated in the NEMEA system, which is able to apply the main commands of the proposed language. Finally, the module meets the requirements of the specified tasks and may be used for further development in the area of monitoring network policies.

Conversion between Formats for Sharing of Network Security Alerts
Eis, Pavel ; Wrona, Jan (referee) ; Žádník, Martin (advisor)
There are many platforms and systems designed for sharing cyber security incidents and events, which often use different security formats. This way it gets harder or even not possible to share security incidents and events between organizations, which are using these platforms. Solution of this problem may be creation of converters, which are capable of converting used security formats between each other. This work solves conversion between security formats IDEA, MISP and STIX. In the process of conversion, it is important to care about conversion flow, to prevent information loss or different category of event assignment, than which it was originally represented by. If the conversion is accurate enough, it can be easier achieved more precise and broader analysis of cyber security incidents.

Heuristic Methods for the Mitigation of DDoS Attacks that Abuse TCP Protocol
Goldschmidt, Patrik ; Wrona, Jan (referee) ; Kučera, Jan (advisor)
TCP SYN Flood is one of the most wide-spread DoS attack types used on computer networks nowadays. As a possible countermeasure, this thesis proposes a network-based mitigation method TCP Reset Cookies. The method utilizes the TCP three-way-handshake mechanism to establish a security association with a client before forwarding its SYN data. The algorithm can effectively mitigate even more sophisticated SYN flood attacks at the cost of 1-second delay for the first established connection. However, the method may not be suitable for all the scenarios, so decision-making algorithm to switch between different SYN Flood mitigation methods according to discovered traffic patterns was also developed. The project was conducted as a part of security research by CESNET. The discussed implementation of TCP Reset Cookies is already integrated into a DDoS protection solution deployed in CESNET's backbone network and Czech Internet exchange point at NIX.CZ.
