IDS is abbreviated from the technical expansion of the Intrusion Detection System. It is one of the popular security mechanisms to classify the normal and malicious activities carried out in the network. In general, the intruders who dare to create malicious activities are classified into 3 categories: Masquerade, Misfeasor, and Clandestine. As a matter of fact, scholars who wish to shine in the field of security will prefer to choose Intrusion Detection System Projects. And through the following ways, intruders attempt to outbreak the network/data,
- Impersonation attack
- Passive attack (eavesdropping)
- Message distortion and replay
- Private sensitive data leaks
- Denial of service (DoS)
- Active and passive interference
- Distributed Daniel of service (DDoS)
- Tampering attack (Data manipulation)
Since IDS is the evergreen research area that constantly makes a beneficial impact in the several security solutions in this modern world. So, we let you know more information on IDS that ranges from fundamentals to current research areas in the following sections.
What is an intrusion?
- The attacker may come from both internal and external parties (third-party)
- The attacker secretly gets into the system with the bad motive to create mischief on the legitimate user information.
- Once the presence of intruders are updated to the legitimate user, then it will protect the data through legal actions
Now, let’s see in what ways the intrusions are detected in the network. And, it is classified as response type, detection approaches, and source-assisted detection. The major of the IDS projects fall under any of the following types:
Intrusion Detection System Types
Before beginning to implementing intrusion detection system projects, one must do a deep knowledge about the types of IDS,
- Response Category
- Active IDS responses
- Passive IDS responses
- Detection Approaches
- Anomaly-based IDS
- Misuse or Signature IDS
- Source assisted Detection
- Location of Audit Source
- Hybrid Techniques in IDS
- Host-based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)
- Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS)
- Correlation Handler
- Decentralized IDS
- Centralized IDS
- Hierarchical based IDS
- Location of Audit Source
What are the two main types of intrusion detection systems?
- Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) – HIDS is intended to identify the intrusion by observing the environment where the system is deployed. For that, it analyzes the log and network traffic information for detecting malicious actions. For instance: backdoor connection, register modification, incorrect logins, and many more. On the whole, it directly involves the specific host to find the mischievous actions by the network interface.
- Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) – NIDS is the most common type of IDS to identify anomalies through the network traffic. It performs on the promiscuous network, to examine all kinds of networks such as unicast/multicast. It does not directly involve the traffic instead it sniffs the firewall API for forwarding the intrusion info to the server by the network interface.
What are the capabilities of Intrusion Detection Systems?
The key role of IDS is to screen the network continuously for detecting network abnormal patterns caused by unauthorized users. In other words, it detects unauthorized user behaviors in attempting to modify the legal user data. Further, we have also given you the other processes of IDS below,
They are as follows:
- Offer large-scale network attack signature-based database which the store the copy of system data
- Maintain the report of warned files i.e., attacker attempted to file in the network
- Enable the system admin to maintain the system log and audit information
- To overcome and avoid cyberattacks, it improves cybersecurity in terms of firewall, key management, and routers/functionalities observation
- Provider user-friendly API for easy access and control of the system by the non-technical users
- Restrict the intruders/server who attempt to do malpractice in the legal data along with include alert service to an admin about data breaches
So far, we have debated on the intrusion, different ways to detect intrusion, the most popular types of IDS, and notable capabilities of IDS. Now, we can see the widely used detection approaches for intrusions. Below, we have specified the common IDS methods.
Intrusion Detection Methods
- Hybrid technique
- Anomaly-based
- Signature-based
Further, Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are one of the best methods to detect intrusion in the network. In the earlier stage, the IDS is involved the manual process to match the signature for well-known attack verification. But, MAS overcome this drawback effectively through its reliable approach. In this, it assures the operative IDS without human involvement and establishes the smooth interaction among MAS agents.
Moreover, it uses intelligent learning mechanisms such as Machine learning and deep learning for cybersecurity IDS. These learning methods are well-suited to predict and detect the intrusion as fast as possible at any risk level. Here, we have mentioned some important algorithms that are used to recognize the attackers in Intrusion Detection System Projects.
- Deep Reinforcement
- Deep Q-Networking (DQN)
- Deep Q-Learning (DQL)
- Twin-Delayed Deep Deterministic (TD3) Policy
- State-Action-Reward-State-Action Learning (SARSA)
- Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) Policy
- Unsupervised
- Clustering
- K-means Clustering
- Mean shift Clustering
- K-Medoids Clustering
- Dimensionality Reduction
- Intelligent Component Analysis (ICA)
- Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)
- Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
