Enhancing Network Intrusion Detection With Integrated Sampling and Filtering

Overview The structure of many standalone Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) centers around a chain of analysis that begins with packets captured by a packet filter, where the filter describes the protocols (TCP/UDP port numbers) and sometimes hosts or subnets to include or exclude from the analysis. This paper argues for augmenting such analysis with an additional, separately filtered stream of packets. This "Secondary Path" supplements the "Main Path" by integrating sampling and richer forms of filtering into a NIDS's analysis. It discusses an implementation of a secondary path for the Bro intrusion detection system and enhancements the authors developed to the Berkeley Packet Filter to work in concert with the secondary path.
