Abstract
The claimed subject matter is directed to mining user behavior data for increasing Internet Protocol (“IP”) space intelligence. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system of mining user behavior within an IP address space and the application of the IP address space intelligence derived from the mined user behavior.In one embodiment, the IP address space intelligence is formed and/or increased with information obtained from the mined user behavior data. A system of uniquely-identified users is monitored and their behavior within the IP address space is recorded. Further data is mined from estimated characteristics about the user, including the nature of the IP address the user uses to log into the service, and characterizing the IP address according to a network type.
