Since current internet intruders conceal their real identity by distributed or disguised attacks, it is not easy to deal with
intruders properly only with an ex post facto chase. Therefore, it needs to trace the intruder in real time. Existing real-time
intruder tracing systems has a spatial restriction. The security domain remains unchanged if there is no system security officer’s
intervention after installing the tracing system. It is impossible to respond to an attack which is done out of the security
domain. This paper proposes selfreplication mechanism, a new approach to real-time intruder tracing, minimizing a spatial
limitation of traceable domain. The real-time tracing supports prompt response to the intrusion, detection of target host
and laundering hosts. It also enhances the possibility of intruder identification. Collected data during the real-time tracing
can be used to generate a hacking scenario database and can be used as legal evidence.
