Because multiuser computer systems typically record enormous quantities of information about user and system activities into system log files, auditing computer user/system activities is a formidable task. Recognizing that a manual audit of these log files is difficult and usually ineffective, the DOE Center for Computer Security has developed an automated audit trail analysis tool, Audit Log Analysis Package (ALAP). ALAP employs methodology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory for the detection and analysis of anomalous data in large databases. ALAP is capable of processing vast amounts of audit data for detection and analysis of anomalous computer user and system behavior. The first application tool is VMS ALAP 1.0, targeted for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Virtual Memory Systems (VMS). 2 refs.
