Popis: Nowadays, cybersecurity focuses on detecting intrusions and anomalies with the aid of automated methods, exploratory visual analysis systems or real-time monitoring with dynamic visual representations. Current research in cybersecurity is not yet at the point where analysts can rely on systems for assuring security. Being in a Data Era, the amount of gathered data can play opposite roles: on one side, to serve the security of an organization, but on the other, to pose security threats. Our paper aims to present a technical implementation of a recurrent neural network that predicts characters in a security context. The end goal of the proposition is to create an application for adding security to a web server by predicting log entries before an actual attack. If such a server would get a certain entry pattern, it will predict a new log before an actual attack. Results demonstrate that character prediction can be achieved with 40% accuracy.
