Stefan,
I appreciate your feedback. I am aware that the DARPA dataset is not looked upon with favor in the security community, so I can understand that that using it is not enough. But, how would I convince you? By applying the method on real data and letting a security professional tell me if it is performing OK?

Hi,
Coming late into this conversation, but what about using statistical learning filtering instead of an expert system?

Sorry to be blunt, but I don't really see how this can possibly lead to
finding or filtering false positives in a misuse detector. And no, the
experiments on the cited paper fail to convince me.

Best,
Stefano
