This paper presents a taxonomy of intrusion detection systems that is then used to survey and classify a number of research prototypes. The taxonomy consists of a classification first of the detection principle, and second of certain operational aspects of the intrusion detection system as such. The systems are also grouped according to the increasing difficulty of the problem they attempt to address. These classifications are used predictively, pointing towards a number of areas of future research in the field of intrusion detection. 1 Introduction There is currently a need for an up-to-date, thorough taxonomy and survey of the field of intrusion detection. This paper presents such a taxonomy, together with a survey of the important research intrusion detection systems to date and a classification of these systems according to the taxonomy. It should be noted that the main focus of this survey is intrusion detection systems, in other words major research efforts that have resul...

The 1998 DARPA intrusion detection evaluation created the first standard corpus for evaluating computer intrusion detection systems. This corpus was designed to evaluate both false alarm rates and detection rates of intrusion detection systems using many types of both known and new attacks embedded in a large amount of normal background traffic. The corpus was collected from a simulation network that was used to automatically generate realistic traffic---including attempted attacks. The focus

After summarizing the EMERALD architecture and the evolutionary process from which EMERALD has evolved, this paper focuses on our experience to date in designing, implementing, and applying EMERALD to various types of anomalies and misuse. The discussion addresses the fundamental importance of good software engineering practice and the importance of the system architecture -- in attaining detectability, interoperability, general applicability, and future evolvability. It also considers the importance of correlation among distributed and hierarchical instances of EMERALD, and needs for additional detection and analysis components. 1. Introduction EMERALD (Event Monitoring Enabling Responses to Anomalous Live Disturbances) [6, 8, 9] is an environment for anomaly and misuse detection and subsequent analysis of the behavior of systems and networks. EMERALD is being developed under DARPA/ITO Contract number F30602-96-C-0294 and applied under DARPA/ISO Contract number F30602-98-C-0059. EMER...

There is currently need for an up-to-date and thorough survey of the research in the eld of computer and network intrusion detection. This paper presents such a survey, with a taxonomy of intrusion detection system features, and a classi- cation of the surveyed systems according to the taxonomy. The conclusion is reached that current research interest should lie in the study of the e ectiveness of intrusion detection and how to handle attacks against the intrusion detection system itself.

: This report summarizes the analysis of survivability-related requirements and their interdependence. It also identifies inadequacies in existing commercial systems and the absence of components that hinder the attainment of survivability. It recommends specific architectural structures and other approaches that can help overcome those inadequacies. The field of endeavor addressed in this report is inherently open ended. New research results and new software components are emerging at a rapid pace. For this reason, the report stresses fundamentals, and is intended to be a guide to certain principles and architectural directions whose systematic use can lead to better survivability. In that spirit, the report is intended to serve as a coherent resource from which many further resources can be gleaned by following the cited references and URLs. The report is quite modest in its intent. It does not try to solve all the problems of how to develop, maintain, and use highly survivable syste...

The ability to detect intruders in computer systems increases in importance as computers are increasingly integrated into the systems that we rely on for the correct functioning of society. This paper reviews the history of research in intrusion detection as performed in software in the context of operating systems for a single computer, a distributed system, or a network of computers. There are two basic approaches: anomaly detection and misuse detection. Both have been practiced since the 1980s. Both have naturally scaled to use in distributed systems and networks.

Soft computing techniques are increasingly being used for problem solving. This paper addresses using an ensemble approach of different soft computing and hard computing techniques for intrusion detection. Due to increasing incidents of cyber attacks, building effective intrusion detection systems are essential for protecting information systems security, and yet it remains an elusive goal and a great challenge. We studied the performance of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS). We show that an ensemble of ANNs, SVMs and MARS is superior to individual approaches for intrusion detection in terms of classification accuracy.

DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT “A”: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Given a network that deploys multiple firewalls and network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs), ensuring that these security components are correctly configured is a challenging problem. Although models have been developed to reason independently about the effectiveness of firewalls and NIDSs, there is no common framework to analyze their interaction. This paper presents an integrated, constraint-based approach for modeling and reasoning about these configurations. Our approach considers the dependencies among the two types of components, and can reason automatically about their combined behavior. We have developed a tool for the specification and verification of networks that include multiple firewalls and NIDSs, based on this approach. This tool can also be used to automatically generate NIDS configurations
