Host-based IDS

2015



The research presented here on host-based intrusion detection systems addresses semantic approaches, power grid substation protection, an architecture for modular mobile IDS, and a hypervisor-based system. Host-based systems are of relevance to the Science of Security topics of cyber physical systems, privacy, resilience, and human behavior. All works cited were presented in 2015.

Abstract: In this work, a Behaviour-based Intrusion Detection Model is suggested. The proposed model can be employed from a single host configuration to a distributed mixture of host-based and network-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). Unlike most state-of-the-art IDSs that rely on analysing lower-level, raw-data representations, our proposed architecture suggests to use higher-level notions--behaviours--instead; this way, the IDS is able to identify more sophisticated attacks. To assess our premise, a Behaviour-based IDS (BIDS) prototype has been designed and developed that scans file system data to identify attacks. BIDS achieves high detection rates with low corresponding false positive rates, superseding other state-of-the-art file system IDSs.

Abstract: An Intrusion detection system (IDS) monitors network traffic and system activities and report to administrator. In some cases the intrusion detection may also respond to anomalous or malicious traffic by taking action such as blocking of user or source address from accessing the network. IDS comes in variety of flavor but its goals to detecting suspicious traffic in different ways. There are network based and host based intrusion detection system. The IDS is detecting based looking for specific signature of known threats as it antivirus and firewall. The anomaly detection is used to comparing traffics against the baseline. The detection is described briefly in this paper using fuzzy and genetic algorithm.

Abstract: Computer security has become a major problem in our society. Specifically, computer network security is concerned with preventing the intrusion of an unauthorized person into a network of computers. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a tool to monitor the network traffic and users activity with the aim of distinguishing between hostile and non-hostile traffic. Most of current networks implement Misuse detection or Anomaly detection techniques for Intrusion detection. By deploying misuse based IDS it cannot detect unknown intrusions and anomaly based IDS have high false positive rate for detection. To overcome this, proposed system uses combination of both network based and host based IDPS as Hybrid Intrusion Detection and Prevention System which will be helpful for detecting maximum attacks on networks.

Abstract: The openness of the Web exposes opportunities for criminals to upload malicious content. In fact, despite extensive research, email based spam filtering techniques are unable to protect other web services. Therefore, a counter measure must be taken that generalizes across web services to protect the user from phishing host URLs. This paper describes an approach that classifies URLs automatically based on their lexical and host-based features. Clustering is performed on the entire dataset and a cluster ID (or label) is derived for each URL, which in turn is used as a predictive feature by the classification system. Online URL reputation services are used in order to categorize URLs and the categories returned are used as a supplemental source of information that would enable the system to rank URLs. The classifier achieves 93-98% accuracy by detecting a large number of phishing hosts, while maintaining a modest false positive rate. URL clustering, URL classification, and URL categorization mechanisms work in conjunction to give URLs a rank.

Abstract: In this work, an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is proposed and evaluated. The IDS is evaluated by simulation in presence of rogue nodes that can launch different attacks. The proposed IDS is capable of detecting a false information attack using statistical techniques effectively and can also detect other types of attacks. First, the theory and implementation of the VANET model that is used to train the IDS is discussed. Then an extensive simulation and analysis of our model under different traffic conditions is conducted to identify the effects of these parameters in VANETs. In addition, the extensive data gathered in the simulations is presented using graphical and statistical techniques. Moreover, rogue nodes are introduced in the network and an algorithm is presented to detect these rogue nodes. Finally, we evaluate our system and observe that the proposed application layer IDS based on cooperative information exchange mechanism is better for dynamic and fast moving networks such as VANETs as compared to other techniques available.
