ATLANTIDES: An Architecture for Alert Verification in Network Intrusion Detection Systems
We present an architecture designed for alert verification (i.e., to reduce false positives) in network intrusion-detection systems. Our technique is based on a systematic (and automatic) anomaly-based analysis of the system output, which provides useful context information regarding the network services. The false positives raised by the NIDS analyzing the incoming traffic (which can be either signature- or anomaly-based) are reduced by correlating them with the output anomalies. We designed our architecture for TCP-based network services which have a client/server architecture (such as HTTP). Benchmarks show a substantial reduction of false positives between 50% and 100%
APHRODITE: an Anomaly-based Architecture for False Positive Reduction
We present APHRODITE, an architecture designed to reduce false positives in
network intrusion detection systems. APHRODITE works by detecting anomalies in
the output traffic, and by correlating them with the alerts raised by the NIDS
working on the input traffic. Benchmarks show a substantial reduction of false
positives and that APHRODITE is effective also after a "quick setup", i.e. in
the realistic case in which it has not been "trained" and set up optimall
