Recent studies on user identification focused on behavioral aspects of biometric patterns, such as keystroke dynamics or activity cycles in on-line games. The aim of our work is to identify users through the detection and analysis of characteristic network flow patterns. The transformation of concepts from the biometric domain into the network domain leads to the concept of a cybermetric pattern -- a pattern that identifies a user based on her characteristic Internet activity.
