Abstract(in English) Confidential information have been leaked accidentally by targetted attacks by targeted attacks. Remote Access Trojan/tool (RAT) is mainly used in such attacks. It is therefore important to detect the RAT activity on intrusion stage to minimize damage by the attack. The detection of the RAT is getting more and more difficult with technological advance. Advanced RATs which use various kinds of protocols cannot be detected with conventional methods. In this study, we provide a method to detect an early intrusion stage of RAT communication by using network features of packet entropy of the communication. We use several supervised machine learning algorithms and K-fold cross validation technique to validate using features of packet entropy. From our experimental results, we report that our approach cant detect RAT sessions with the high accuracy 96.2% and the low false positive rate of 1.6%.
