It’s now a world of networks and the virtual era has arrived. Get connected to the Internet and the whole world becomes accessible right from the comforts of the home. This certainly has its advantages, but at the same time it has also given birth to many problems regarding computer security.
As mission critical computers started getting connected to the Internet, they were exposed to attacks from intruders and the security of these systems, were under threat. A number of technologies such as Firewalls, Encryption, Authentication Devices and Vulnerability Checking Tools, are being used to defend the network. In spite of these, the systems are susceptible to hackers. Hence, it’s highly sensible to establish a second line of defence in the form of an Intrusion Detection System.
Network Based Intrusion Detection System will detect all known port-scans and denial-of-service attacks in the banks’ network and Host Based Intrusion Detection System will detect all the attacks on a particular host, and send the information to the system administrator. This project involved developing a Network Based Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) and a Host Based Intrusion Detection System.
