Abstract

The ability to predict computer crimes has become increasingly important. The paper describes a method for discovering the preferences of computer criminals. This method involves sequential clustering based on the variance of clusters discovered in higher order clustering. These discovered preferences can be used for the direct protection of computer systems against ongoing attacks or for the construction of simulations of future attacks
