Resumo


Behavioral Fingerprinting is a technique used to understand the behavior of devices, enabling a better understanding of their functionality and improved anomaly detection. This paper proposes a methodology for generating the behavioral fingerprint of programmable switches. The methodology outlines the process of selecting metrics for analysis, extracting data from them, and organizing the information to construct a behavioral fingerprint for a programmable device within a network.
