A dubiety-determining based model for database cumulated anomaly intrusion
The concept of Cumulated Anomaly (CA), which describes a new type of database anomalies, is addressed. A
typical CA intrusion is that when a user who is authorized to modify data records under certain constraints deliberately
hides his/her intentions to change data beyond constraints in different operations and different transactions. It happens
when some appearing to be authorized and normal transactions lead to certain accumulated results out of given thresholds.
The existing intrusion techniques are unable to deal with CAs. This paper proposes a detection model,
Dubiety-Determining Model (DDM), for Cumulated Anomaly. This model is mainly based on statistical theories and fuzzy
set theories. It measures the dubiety degree, which is presented by a real number between 0 and 1, for each database
transaction, to show the likelihood of a transaction to be intrusive. The algorithms used in the DDM are introduced. A
DDM-based software architecture has been designed and implemented for monitoring database transactions. The
experimental results show that the DDM method is feasible and effective
ANTIDS: Self-Organized Ant-based Clustering Model for Intrusion Detection System
Security of computers and the networks that connect them is increasingly
becoming of great significance. Computer security is defined as the protection
of computing systems against threats to confidentiality, integrity, and
availability. There are two types of intruders: the external intruders who are
unauthorized users of the machines they attack, and internal intruders, who
have permission to access the system with some restrictions. Due to the fact
that it is more and more improbable to a system administrator to recognize and
manually intervene to stop an attack, there is an increasing recognition that
ID systems should have a lot to earn on following its basic principles on the
behavior of complex natural systems, namely in what refers to
self-organization, allowing for a real distributed and collective perception of
this phenomena. With that aim in mind, the present work presents a
self-organized ant colony based intrusion detection system (ANTIDS) to detect
intrusions in a network infrastructure. The performance is compared among
conventional soft computing paradigms like Decision Trees, Support Vector
Machines and Linear Genetic Programming to model fast, online and efficient
intrusion detection systems.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, Swarm Intelligence and Patterns (SIP)- special

Using Relational Schemata in a Computer Immune System to Detect Multiple-Packet Network Intrusions
Given the increasingly prominent cyber-based threat, there are substantial research and development efforts underway in network and host-based intrusion detection using single-packet traffic analysis. However, there is a noticeable lack of research and development in the intrusion detection realm with regard to attacks that span multiple packets. This leaves a conspicuous gap in intrusion detection capability because not all attacks can be found by examining single packets alone. Some attacks may only be detected by examining multiple network packets collectively, considering how they relate to the big picture, not how they are represented as individual packets. This research demonstrates a multiple-packet relational sensor in the context of a Computer Immune System (CIS) model to search for attacks that might otherwise go unnoticed via single-packet detection methods. Using relational schemata, multiple-packet CIS sensors define self based on equal, less than, and greater than relationships between fields of routine network packet headers. Attacks are then detected by examining how the relationships among attack packets may lay outside of the previously defined self
A Comprehensive Survey of Data Mining-based Fraud Detection Research
This survey paper categorises, compares, and summarises from almost all
published technical and review articles in automated fraud detection within the
last 10 years. It defines the professional fraudster, formalises the main types
and subtypes of known fraud, and presents the nature of data evidence collected
within affected industries. Within the business context of mining the data to
achieve higher cost savings, this research presents methods and techniques
together with their problems. Compared to all related reviews on fraud
detection, this survey covers much more technical articles and is the only one,
to the best of our knowledge, which proposes alternative data and solutions
from related domains.Comment: 14 page
Multi-paradigm frameworks for scalable intrusion detection
Research in network security and intrusion detection systems (IDSs) has typically focused on small or artificial data sets. Tools are developed that work well on these data sets but have trouble meeting the demands of real-world, large-scale network environments. In addressing this problem, improvements must be made to the foundations of intrusion detection systems, including data management, IDS accuracy and alert volume;We address data management of network security and intrusion detection information by presenting a database mediator system that provides single query access via a domain specific query language. Results are returned in the form of XML using web services, allowing analysts to access information from remote networks in a uniform manner. The system also provides scalable data capture of log data for multi-terabyte datasets;Next, we address IDS alert accuracy by building an agent-based framework that utilizes web services to make the system easy to deploy and capable of spanning network boundaries. Agents in the framework process IDS alerts managed by a central alert broker. The broker can define processing hierarchies by assigning dependencies on agents to achieve scalability. The framework can also be used for the task of event correlation, or gathering information relevant to an IDS alert;Lastly, we address alert volume by presenting an approach to alert correlation that is IDS independent. Using correlated events gathered in our agent framework, we build a feature vector for each IDS alert representing the network traffic profile of the internal host at the time of the alert. This feature vector is used as a statistical fingerprint in a clustering algorithm that groups related alerts. We analyze our results with a combination of domain expert evaluation and feature selection
Security in Data Mining- A Comprehensive Survey
Data mining techniques, while allowing the individuals to extract hidden knowledge on one hand, introduce a number of privacy threats on the other hand. In this paper, we study some of these issues along with a detailed discussion on the applications of various data mining techniques for providing security. An efficient classification technique when used properly, would allow an user to differentiate between a phishing website and a normal website, to classify the users as normal users and criminals based on their activities on Social networks (Crime Profiling) and to prevent users from executing malicious codes by labelling them as malicious. The most important applications of Data mining is the detection of intrusions, where different Data mining techniques can be applied to effectively detect an intrusion and report in real time so that necessary actions are taken to thwart the attempts of the intruder. Privacy Preservation, Outlier Detection, Anomaly Detection and PhishingWebsite Classification are discussed in this paper
Automated Approach to Intrusion Detection in VM-based Dynamic Execution Environment
Because virtual computing platforms are dynamically changing, it is difficult to build high-quality intrusion detection system. In this paper, we present an automated approach to intrusions detection in order to maintain sufficient performance and reduce dependence on execution environment. We discuss a hidden Markov model strategy for abnormality detection using frequent system call sequences, letting us identify attacks and intrusions automatically and efficiently. We also propose an automated mining algorithm, named AGAS, to generate frequent system call sequences. In our approach, the detection performance is adaptively tuned according to the execution state every period. To improve performance, the period value is also under self-adjustment
