Abstract

One of the main challenges in the information security concerns the introduction of systems able to identify intrusions. In this ambit this work takes place describing a new Intrusion Detection System based on anomaly approach. We realized a system with a hybrid solution between host-based and network-based approaches, and it consisted of two subsystems: a statistical system and a neural one. The features extracted from the network traffic belong only to the IP Header and their trend allows us detecting through a simple visual inspection if an attack occurred. Really the two-tier neural system has to indicate the status of the system. It classifies the traffic of the monitored host, distinguishing the background traffic from the anomalous one. Besides, a very important aspect is that the system is able to classify different instances of the same attack in the same class, establishing which attack occurs.
