Abstract
Masqueraders in computer intrusion detection are people who use somebody el se's computer account. We investigate a number of statistical approaches fo r detecting masqueraders. To evaluate them, we collected UNIX command data from 50 users and then contaminated the data with masqueraders. The experim ent was blinded. We show results from, six methods, including two approache s from the computer science community.
