Abstract(in English) In this study, we considered an implementation a detection technique of DNS tunnel. This detection techniqe is likely to can detect abnormal DNS query string by machine learning (unsupervised learning) character string of normal domain name. Therefore we tested and experimented an implementation evaluation program for real environment. Using machine learning algorithm (One-Class SVM) of Python 3 and scikit-learn, we made a program for evaluation, and tested in real environment. In implementation test, we deployed an evaluation program in PC of real environment, and confirmed to normal it. While to runed evaluation program, we got DNS query for DNS packets. We discussed the implementation test, experiment, and results. In this study, we confirmed that the machine learning model in evaluation program, enable normal detection greater than 97 percent.
