Automated network supervision including detecting an anonymously administered node, identifying the administrator of the anonymously administered node, and registering the administrator and the anonymously administered node

A method for use by a network supervision system including at least one computing platform coupled to a plurality of nodes of a network including the at least one computing platform, the at least one computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory storing a network participant supervising software code and a network participant registry, the method comprising:

• detecting, using the hardware processor, an anonymously administered node of the network;
• aggregating, using the hardware processor, a plurality of system log files of the anonymously administered node;
• performing an analysis of the plurality of system log files, using the hardware processor and an unsupervised machine learning algorithm;
• identifying, using the hardware processor, an administrator of the anonymously administered node based on the analysis;
• generating, using the hardware processor, a registration record associating the administrator with the anonymously administered node;
• and
• updating, using the hardware processor, the network participant registry using the registration record.

A computer-readable non-transitory medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a hardware processor of a computing platform interactively coupled to a network, instantiate a method comprising:

• detecting an anonymously administered node of the network;
• aggregating a plurality of system log files of the anonymously administered node;
• performing an analysis of the plurality of system log files using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm;
• identifying an administrator of the anonymously administered node based on the analysis;
• generating a registration record associating the administrator with the anonymously administered node;
• and
• updating a network participant registry using the registration record.
