TIDS - A Framework for Detecting Threats in Telecom Networks

Explore a comprehensive framework for detecting threats in telecommunication networks in this 25-minute conference talk from Hack.lu 2017. Dive into the TIDS (Telecom IDS) monitoring system developed by POST Luxembourg to protect critical telecom infrastructure from abuses, DoS attacks, and security issues affecting subscribers. Learn about the framework's two main components: a data collector for live signaling data and an analytics app utilizing statistical and machine-learning methods. Discover how TIDS addresses vulnerabilities in telecom networks, including location tracking, spoofing, and interception. Gain insights into the actual technology stack, Diameter monitoring setup, and advanced data analytics techniques used for detecting anomalies and predicting threats. Understand the importance of regulation and data in telecom security, and explore methods for passively fingerprinting vendors and monitoring traffic rerouting.
