Rule Generalisation Using Snort
Overview Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) provide an important layer of security for computer systems and networks. An IDS's responsibility is to detect suspicious or unacceptable system and network activity and to alert a systems administrator to this activity. The majority of IDSs use a set of signatures that define what suspicious traffic is, and SNORT is one popular and actively developing open-source IDS that uses such a set of signatures known as SNORT rules. The aim is to identify a way in which SNORT could be developed further by generalising rules to identify novel attacks. In particular, one attempted to relax and vary the conditions and parameters of current SNORT rules, using a similar approach to classic rule learning operators such as generalisation and specialisation.
