A study on the performance metrics for evaluating stepping stone detection (Ssd)

Abstract

A good SSD managed to detect attacks that were initiated using stepping-stone hosts with high accuracy. In evaluating the SSD, various metrics have been used by many researchers but a benchmark should be introduced in calculating the measures. The performance metrics are used to evaluate Stepping Stone Detection (SSD) to recognize the best configurations or which SSD is better. The stepping stone attacks have pattern that needs to be recognized for the detection to be successful. In this paper, we analyze the approaches used in evaluating the SSD and suggested the beneficial insights metrics in evaluating the effectiveness or the accuracy of the SSD.
