Intrusion Detection and Information Fusion/Decision Making By Ganesh Godavari
Outline of Talk • Need for Intrusion Detection and Information Fusion • Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format (IDMEF) • Plan of action • Conclusion
Intrusion Detection • Intrusion detection • process of discovering, analyzing, and reporting unauthorized or damaging network or computer activities • Goal is to discover violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and resources
Problems with Intrusion Detection • Network traffic and computer activity falls in one of three categories: • Normal • Abnormal but not malicious • Malicious • Properly classifying these events are the single most difficult problem
Problems contd.. • IDSes generally provide • a constant feed of new alerts • which are written into a log file • How can one minimize the number of alerts? • Does Alert Aggregation and correlation solve the problem?
Problem in alert correlation • Alerts are correlated based on certain keywords • Is tomato a fruit? Or vegetable? • You want to get general information associated with an IPaddress , Port no’s • Solutions? • Can anyone suggest any? • Is this problem unique ? • No web search engines often encounter these problems • How about applying the Latent Semantic Indexing *? • Worked for search engines like google can work for information retrieval of Intrusion Detection alerts too!!.
Event Monitoring Enabling Responses to Anomalous Live Disturbances (EMERALD) • EMERALD HIDS provides • distributed scalable tool suite for tracking malicious activity through and across large networks • Requires Sun Microsystems Sparc platform running one of: • SunOS 5.6 (Solaris 2.6) with service patch 105621-24 or newer • Solaris 7 with service patch 106541-12 or newer • Solaris 8 with service patch 108875-07 or newer
TripWire • Need to get the complete version inorder to perform tests using tripwire • Currently being negotiated between tripwire and dr chow
Some of the important fields • IDS important fields • src/dest ipaddress or username • src/dest portnumber • Ip packet type • Detect time of the attack • Packet content on the attack packet or malicious activity report incase of HIDS • Any other packet information required?
conclusion • Can perform packet capture normal and attack traffic on both NIDS and HIDS • For HIDS if I get license for tripwire or have a Solaris box using emerald would be helpful for capturing data • Shall provide the packet dumps and ASCII packet dumps.
