Many researchers have applied statistical analy- sis techniques to email for classification purposes, such as identifying spam messages. Such ap- proaches can be highly eective, however many examine incoming email exclusively — which does not provide detailed information about an individual user's behavior. Only by analyzing outgoing messages can a user's behavior be as- certained. Our contributions are: the use of em- pirical analysis to select an optimum, novel col- lection of behavioral features of a user's email trac that enables the rapid detection of abnor- mal email activity; and a demonstration of the eectiveness of outgoing email analysis using an application that detects worm propagation. |
