Abstract

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) protects computer networks against attacks and intrusions, in combination with firewalls and anti-virus systems. One class of IDS is called signature-based network IDSs, as they monitor network traffic, looking for evidence of malicious behaviour as specified in attack descriptions (referred to as signatures).
