| In this project, we investigate the detection methods utilized by these systems by means of constructing an engine-based taxonomy. Also, by analyzing existing, open-source, IDS's, we can isolate and extend current detection methods, and lay the foundations for a toolkit which will enable us to add new detection methods dynamically. This will be established by means of DSL's, Domain Specific Languages. Lastly, an extensive introduction to, and the explanation of some major problems of IDS's, will be written. Our hope, is that this will provide enough material both to publish a book about this topic, and to stimulate further research in the field of Intrusion Detection. |
