SPHINX: An Anomaly-Based Web Intrusion Detection System

Tags:
network security

Overview This paper presents Sphinx, an anomaly-based web intrusion detection system. Sphinx analyzes the parameters sent to the web server, infers the "Type" of each parameter and combines different techniques to detect attacks, specifically designed to cope with each parameter type. Sphinx like the widely known ModSecurity is implemented as an additional module for the Apache web server, therefore can cope with encrypted traffic.
