Process Search Device And Process Search Program

Abstract: An action process list (330) is a list in which an attack type identifier and an action process identifier are correlated with each other. An operation process list (340) is a list in which an operation-source process identifier and an operation-destination process identifier are correlated with each other. An indirect process search unit (230) uses the action process list and the operation process list to search for a set of indirect process identifiers which correspond to a set of action process identifiers correlated with different attack type identifiers and which correspond to a set of the operation-source process identifier and the operation-destination process identifier.

[Claim 2)
The process search apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the indirect process searching unit:
selects an origin type identifer fom attack type identifers included in the activity process list, based on a number of activity process identifers associated with each of the attack type identifers, the origin tye identifer being an attack tye identifier serving as an origin of a search; and
searches fr the set of indirect process identifers using activity process

identifiers associated with the selected origin type identifier.
[Claim 3]
The process search apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the indirect process searching unit selects, as the origin type identifier, an attack type identifier with a smallest number of activity process identifiers associated with the attack type identifier among the attack type identifiers included in the activity process list.
[Claim 4]
The process search apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the indirect process searching unit:
selects an activity process identifier associated with the origin type identifier, as an origin process identifier from the activity process list;
selects an attack type identifier different from the origin type identifier, as a search type identifier from the activity process list;
selects an activity process identifier associated with the search type identifier, as a search process identifier from the activity process list; and
determines whether the operation process list includes a set of an operation-destination process identifier and an operation-source process identifier corresponding to a set of the origin process identifier and the search process identifier.
[Claim 5]
The process search apparatus according to claim 4, wherein
the attack type identifier is a number indicating order of attacks, and
the indirect process searching unit selects, as the search type identifier, an

attack type identifier indicating a number immediately before a number indicated by the origin type identifier.
[Claim 6]
The process search apparatus according to claim 5, wherein when the operation process list includes a set of an operation-destination process identifier and an operation-source process identifier corresponding to a set of the origin process identifier and the search process identifier, and the number indicated by the search type identifier is a first number, the indirect process searching unit generates the set of the origin 1 process identifier and the search process identifier as the set of indirect process identifiers.
[Claim 7]
The process search apparatus according to claim 6, wherein
when the operation process list includes the set of an operation-destination process identifier and an operation-source process identifier corresponding to the set of the origin process identifier and the search process identifier, but the number indicated by the search type identifier is not the first number, the indirect process searching unit:
selects an activity process identifier associated with the search type identifier, i as a new origin process identifier;
selects an attack type identifier indicating a number immediately before the number indicated by the search type identifier, as a new search type identifier;
selects an activity process identifier associated with the new search type identifier, as a new search process identifier; and
generates, when the operation process list includes a set of an

operation-destination process identifier and an operation-source process identifier corresponding to a set of the new origin process identifier and the new search process identifier and the number indicated by the new search type identifier is the first number, the set of the origin process identifier and the search process identifier and the set of the new origin process identifier and the new search process identifier, as the set of indirect process identifiers.
[Claim 8]
The process search apparatus according to claim 5, wherein
the activity process list includes an attack start time that is a start time of the
time period during which an attack is detected, and that is a time associated with an
attack type identifier and an activity process identifier, and
the indirect process searching unit selects each activity process identifier
associated with the search type identifier, as the search process identifier, in ascending
order of attack start times from the activity process list.
[Claim 9]
The process search apparatus according to claim 8, wherein
the indirect process searching unit:
selects an operation-source process identifier identical to the search process identifier from the operation process list, and obtains an operation-destination process identifier associated with the selected operation-source process identifier, as an additional-process identifier from the operation process list; and
generates a set of the origin process identifier, the search process identifier, and the additional-process identifier as the set of indirect process identifiers when the

operation process list includes the set of an operation-destination process identifier and an operation-source process identifier corresponding to the set of the origin process identifier and the search process identifier, and the number indicated by the search type identifier is a first number.
[Claim 10]
The process search apparatus according to claim 9, wherein when the search process identifier is identical to an additional-process identifier for a search process identifier selected previously, the indirect process searching unit omits a processing for the set of the origin process identifier and the search process identifier.
[Claim 11]
The process search apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the indirect process searching unit:
selects an attack type identifier indicating a number immediately after the number indicated by the origin type identifier, as a new search type identifier;
selects an activity process identifier associated with the new search type identifier, as a new search process identifier; and
generates, when the operation process list includes a set of an operation-destination process identifier and an operation-source process identifier corresponding to a set of the origin process identifier and the new search process identifier, the set of the origin process identifier and the new search process identifier as the set of indirect process identifiers.
[Claim 12]
