Abstract

In this paper we propose a distributed intrusiondetection system for ad hoc wireless networks based onmobile agent technology. Wireless networks areparticularly vulnerable to intrusion, as they operate inopen medium, and use cooperative strategies for networkcommunications. By efficiently merging audit data frommultiple network sensors, we analyze the entire ad hocwireless network for intrusions and try to inhibit intrusionattempts. In contrast to many intrusion detection systemsdesigned for wired networks, we implement an efficientand bandwidth-conscious framework that targetsintrusion at multiple levels and takes into accountdistributed nature of ad hoc wireless networkmanagement and decision policies.
