Abstract
This thesis focuses on anomaly detection for passive monitoring of satellite Internet traffic. It starts by outlining the satellite communication context and the characteristics of EUTELSAT customer traffic, supported by a review of related and competitor studies. The work then builds a scalable processing pipeline to transform raw monitoring logs into structured data, enabling consistent analysis on large volumes of traffic. Using the aggregated dataset, the thesis develops a multi-step analysis of user behavior: initial exploration of traffic patterns and outliers, profiling of service usage, and a shift from purely volume-based metrics to behavioral indicators. These macro-level steps provide a clearer view of how users differ and where anomalous behaviors may emerge.
Building on this foundation, the thesis applies unsupervised techniques to identify suspicious users, combines dimensionality reduction and clustering, and evaluates alternative detection approaches
