Kent Johnson SEC280 Instructor: R. Booth Week 6 Case study Here at gem security, it is important for our network and its resources to be kept secure from possible intrusion from outside sources. Installing of an IDS policy is an important thing in keeping the network safe. Installing a Network IDS (NIDS) onto a network requires a significant amount of thought and planning. In addition to the technical issues and product selection there are resource issues, from product cost to

Lab 2 – CSEC630 1. When running Snort IDS why might there be no alerts? When using Snort IDS, there are several modes that if configured properly, will generate alerts. Alerts are set by the user within the command prompt when initiating a rule set. There are five alerting options available with Snort IDS. According to (Roesch, 1999), Alerts may either be sent to syslog, logged to an alert text file in two different formats, or sent as Win-Popup messages using the Samba smbclient program

Rajesh Reader, Department of CSE, Manonmanium Sundaranar University,, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India rs_rajesh@yahoo.co.in Abstract A variety of intrusion prevention techniques, such as user authentication using passwords, avoidance of programming errors and information protection, has been used to protect computer systems. However information prevention alone is not sufficient to protect our systems

Intrusion detection Intrusion detection is a means of supervising the events that occur in a computer system or network. This includes examining them for traces of possible incidents that are in violations or threats of violation of computer security policies, acceptable use policies, or standard security practices (Ogunleye & Ogunde, 2011). Intrusion detection is become more than ever an important focus of many organization. This focus is driven by the availability of more information systems and

he incorporated a Network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) from Recourse Technologies titled “Man Hunt”. This software will help (Conry-Murray, 2002) “prevent loss of intellectual property, a possible public humiliating web site defacement, and network downtime that would affect film production, television shows, and video game production.” “Man Hunt” acts as a (Conry-Murray, 2002) “highly effective crystal ball that helps Uslan monitors a global network for intrusion attempts and internal misuse

APPLICATIONS OF AUTOMATA THEORY IN INFORMATION AGE 1. DEFINITION Automata theory is the study of abstract machines and automata as well as the computational problems that can be solved using them. It is a theory in theoretical computer science, under discrete mathematics (a section of Mathematics and also of Computer Science). Automaton comes from the Greek word αὐτόματα meaning "self-acting". So, Automata Theory is the study of self-operating virtual machines to help in logical understanding of

Lab #10 Securing the Network with an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Introduction Nearly every day there are reports of information security breaches and resulting monetary losses in the news. Businesses and governments have increased their security budgets and undertaken measures to minimize the loss from security breaches. While cyberlaws act as a broad deterrent, internal controls are needed to secure networks from malicious activity. Internal controls traditionally fall into two major categories:

wireless network security problem (WNSP) in Intrusion Detection Systems in network security field. I will show the methods used in these systems, giving brief points of the design principles and the major trends. Artificial intelligence techniques are widely used in this area such as fuzzy logic, neural network and Genetic algorithms. In this paper, I will focus on the fuzzy logic, neural network and Genetic algorithm technique and how it could be used in Intrusion Detection Systems giving some examples
