Abstract
A computer system, device, computer software, and/or method performed by a computer system, is provided for determining a user name likely to be associated with an attack, a configuration, or a vulnerability. First data is obtained which associates user names with individual IP addresses onto which the user names were logged in. Second data is obtained which associates attacks, configurations, or vulnerabilities with individual IP addresses on which the attacks occurred or on which the configurations or vulnerabilities exist. The user names from the first data are associated with the attacks, configurations or vulnerabilities from the second data based on having the same IP address during a log-in. An individual user name is indicated as being associated with attacks which occurred while the individual user name was logged in or with configurations or vulnerabilities for an IP address onto which the user logs in.
