Evaluation of Intrusion Detection Systems

Tags:
network security

Overview Little was done to evaluate computer Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) prior to the evaluations conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory under the sponsorship of the DARPA in 1998. This effort is known as the 1998 DARPA off-line intrusion detection evaluation. It was the first comprehensive test of multiple IDSs using a realistic setting. Various accounts of this evaluation have been published by Durst et al., McHugh, Lippmann et al., Stolfo et al., and McHugh et al.. This evaluation was the first that evaluated many IDSs, used a wide variety of intrusions, simulated realistic normal activity, and produced results that could be shared by many researchers.
