Popis: There has been a great deal of research in the area of using graph engines and graph databases to model network traffic and network attacks, but the novelty of this research lies in visually or graphically representing the Reconnaissance Tactic (TA0043) of the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Using the newly created dataset, UWF-Zeekdata22, based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework, patterns involving network connectivity, connection duration, and data volume were found and loaded into a graph environment. Patterns were also found in the graphed data that matched the Reconnaissance as well as other tactics captured by UWF-Zeekdata22. The star motif was particularly useful in mapping the Reconnaissance Tactic. The results of this paper show that graph databases/graph engines can be essential tools for understanding network traffic and trying to detect network intrusions before they happen. Finally, an analysis of the runtime performance of the reduced dataset used to create the graph databases showed that the reduced datasets performed better than the full dataset.
