HIIDes or Hybrid Intelligent Intrusion Detection System was my final year main project.
Here is a brief summary :
The purpose of this project is to implement a Hybrid Intelligent Intrusion Detection System. In recent years, Intrusion detection system has been one of the most sought after research topics in the field of Information Security having huge applications in the cooperate world where data integrity and security is a complex issue.
It is an important detection technology and is used as a countermeasure to preserve data integrity and system availability during an intrusion across various fields. When an intruder attempts to break into an information system or performs an action not legally allowed, as defined by the security policies of the system, we refer to this activity as an Intrusion. Intruders may be external or internal depending upon the authorization level. Intrusion techniques may include exploiting software bugs or system configurations, password cracking, sniffing unsecured traffic, or exploiting the design flaw of specific protocols. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device (or application) that monitors network activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a Management Station.
One of the major drawbacks of popular Intrusion Detection Systems is the fact that if an intrusion is not detected or if it is falsely detected, there is no option to change its behavior and it continues to make the same mistake each time. The objective of this project is to design a Hybrid Intelligent Intrusion Detection System (HIIDES) that is able to detect intrusions that violate the security policies of the system as well as evolve itself at the same time to learn from its mistakes with the help of Genetic Algorithm.
