Using Intrusion Detection Systems With a Firewall: Evaluation on DARPA 99 Dataset

Tags:
firewalls

Overview In this paper, two open-source network intrusion detection systems - Snort and Pakemon - are combined with Cisco IOS Firewall intrusion detection features to increase detection of attacks. Evaluation of the systems is performed on DARPA 99 Intrusion Detection dataset. Individual and combined performance is characterized using multiple performance metrics. Results shows that different tools perform well under different attack categories; hence demonstrating the benefit of deploying intrusion detection systems working together with a firewall.

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

The researchers found it was possible to circumvent the Chinese intrusion detection systems (IDS) by ignoring the forged TCP resets injected by the Chinese routers, which would normally force the endpoints to abandon the connection.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
