An Analysis of Network Scanning Traffic as It Relates to Scan-Detection in Network Intrusion Detection Systems
Overview Network Intrusion Detection is, in a modern network, a useful tool to detect a wide variety of malicious traffic. The ever present prevalence of scanning activity on the Internet is fair justification to warrant scan detection as a component of network intrusion detection. Whilst current systems are able to perform scan-detection, the methods they use are often flawed and exhibit an inability to detect scans in an efficient and scalable manner. Existing research by van Riel and Irwin has illustrated a number of flaws present in the open source systems Snort and Bro. This paper builds on this by describing current research at Rhodes University in which these flaws are being addressed.
