APHIDS: A Mobile Agent-Based Programmable Hybrid Intrusion Detection System

Abstract. Intrusion detection systems are quickly becoming a standard requirement in building a network security infrastructure. Although many established techniques and commercial products exist, their effectiveness leaves room for improvement. We propose an intrusion detection system architecture which takes advantage of the mobile agent paradigm to implement a system capable of efficient and flexible distribution of analysis and monitoring tasks, as well as integration of existing detection techniques. Our architecture defines a high-level application specific scripting language to specify the interaction between monitoring agents and analysis agents.
