This paper presents an examination of intrusion detection schemes. It discusses traditional views of intrusion detection, and examines the more novel, but perhaps more effective, approach to intrusion detection as modeled on the human immune system. The discussion looks at some of the implications raised by intrusion detection research for information security in general.

Usability evaluation methods have gained a substantial attention in networks particularly Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as these are envisioned to achieve usability and define defects for large number of practical software’s. Despite good available survey on evaluation, we feel that there is gap existing literature terms methods, IDS interfaces following guidelines development. This paper re...

Security of the computer system and network is at continual risk due the progressive technological advancements in the field of information security. This concern has brought up the necessity of a system or mechanism which constantly keeps an eye on the illegitimate activities. Several mechanisms have been proposed for this purpose, namely antivirus, firewall, intrusion detection system etc. In...

Despite advances in intrusion detection and prevention systems, attacks on networked computer systems continue to succeed. Intrusion tolerance and forensic analysis are required to adequately detect and defend against attacks that succeed. Intrusion tolerance and forensic analysis techniques depend on monitors to collect information about possible attacks. Since monitoring can be expensive, how...

Intrusion Detection Systems play an invaluable role within organisations by detecting attempted attacks on their IT systems. However, Intrusion Detection Systems are complex to set-up and require large quantities of memory and processing power to effectively analyse the large volumes of network traffic involved. Behavioural analysis plays an important role within Intrusion Detection Systems by ...

Although the intrusion detection system (IDS) industry is rapidly maturing, the state of intrusion detection system evaluation is not. Although the off-line dataset evaluation proposed by MIT Lincoln Lab represents a significant undertaking, there remain several issues unsolved in design and modeling of the resulting dataset which may make the evaluation results biased. In this paper we present...
