  1. Intrusion Detection Adam Ashenfelter Nicholas J. Tyrrell

  2. What Is Intrusion Detection • A network burglar alarm • Passively monitors the system for suspect behavior • Sources for monitored data • Audit trails (logs of user commands) • System calls • Network traffic

  3. Examples of Suspect Behavior • System use outside of normal time • Abnormal frequency of use • Abnormal volume of data referenced • Abnormal patterns of reference to programs or data

  4. Some Possible Intrusions • External Penetrator • An attacker who has gained access to a computer of which he is not a legitimate user • Masquerader • An attacker who has gained the gained access to a valid user’s account • Misfeasor • A legitimate user who abuses his privileges to violate system security policies

  5. Types of Intrusion Detection • Policy based detection • Detects using a predefined rule base • Anomaly detection • Collects statistics, generating profiles for normal/abnormal behavior

  6. Pros Good against known attacks “False alarms” can be kept low Normally less computationally expensive Cons Very susceptible to novel or unusual attacks Writing the rules can be very tedious If the rules become known to an attacker, they can be avoided Policy Based Detection

  7. Pros Robust against new types of attacks Can learn by example, no need to write rules by hand Cons Might give “false alarms” for unusual but valid behavior Computationally expensive; sometimes requiring off-line algorithms Might learn to accept dangerous behavior as normal over time Anomaly Detection

  8. Some Current and Previous Intrusion Detection Systems • NIDES • NADIR • NSM

  9. NIDES • Evolved from IDES over the early 1990’s • Uses both rule based and anomaly detection

  10. Pros Highly Modularized Real or non-real time detection Low false positive rate (false alarms) Cons Susceptible to Tampering Direct attack on Nides Reverse Engineering Attacker could avoid rules used by Nides’ policy detection NIDES

  11. NADIR • Automated system for detecting network intrusion and misuse • Developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory • Served 9000 computers including 6 Cray-class computers • Uses rules at system wide level and also creates statistical profiles for each user

  12. Pros Highly Interactive Error Detection System Management User Education Cons High number of false positives Needs better anomaly detection Not real time detection NADIR Continued

  13. NSM • Prototype deployed at UC Davis during 1980’s • First System to use Network data directly • Layered approach to data collection • Uses both policy and anomaly detection

  14. Pros Audit data instantly available Impervious to direct attack Low impact on system resources Cons Attacks made on hosts without accessing the network are undetectable Cryptography could be the death of NSM NSM Continued

  15. Some Current Research Areas • Data Mining • Using data mining techniques to better find consistent and useful patterns from logged data to use as rules • Machine Learning • Using machine learning methods, such as neural networks, to try and build better anomaly detection (fewer false alarms)
