Olivier Thonnard graduated as an engineer in Telecommunications from the Royal Military Academy (Belgium).He also holds a Master in Applied Computer Science from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium).He is currently completing a PhD, focused on honeypot traffic analysis, at EURECOM (France) under the supervision of Marc Dacier (Symantec Research).As military Officer, he is teaching at the Polytechnic Faculty of the Royal Military Academy, where he is involved in several courses related to computer and network security. His research interests include intrusion detection, honeypot technology, and network traffic analysis. His current research activities are closely related to the global analysis of Internet threats. Most of his work concentrates on the identification of attack patterns and trends in network traces, by means of classification and correlation techniques applied to large sets of real-world attack traces. For that purpose, he is developing new specific data mining techniques based on clustering, correlation methods, and clique algorithms.
