  • Security threats occur from the outside, but more often from the inside. In particular, since the internal user knows about the information service, the security threat damage caused by the internal user is greater. In this environment, the actions of all users accessing information services should be monitored and recorded in real-time. However, the current operating system records only the logs of system and application execution, so there is a limit to monitoring user behavior in real-time. In such a security environment, damage may occur due to user's unauthorized actions. To solve this problem, this study proposes an architecture that monitors user behavior in real-time in a Linux environment. As a result of verifying the function to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed architecture, the console input values and output angles of all users who have access to the operating system are monitored in real-time and stored. Although the performance of the proposed architecture is somewhat slower than the identification and authentication functions provided by the operating system, it was confirmed that the performance was not at a level that users would recognize, and thus it was judged to be sufficiently effective. However, since this study focuses on monitoring the console behavior, it is impossible to monitor the behavior of user applications running in the background, so additional research is needed.
