Blink: Large-scale P2P network monitoring and visualization system using VM introspection

P2P network is now widely pervasive and increase usability of Internet. However, with the difficulty of tracing flow of P2P traffic, security incident of P2P network is now serious problem. In this paper we propose Blink, Large-scale P2P network monitoring and visualization system using VM introspection. We discuss a monitoring and visualizing P2P traffic using enhancement of the combination of probe and analyzer. In proposed system, probe and monitor are running on guest OS, which is connected the analyzer and visualizer module on host OS. Traffic log is transferred to host OS which is analyzed and visualized. Proposed system makes it possible to enhance the analysis and visualization function with the least impact of guest OS. In proposed system we have implemented monitors for two kinds of P2P software: BitTorrent and Winny. Also we have implemented visualization module using Google Earth by translating traffic log file to KML (Keyhole Markup Language). We show system output...
