Title : Dynamic Performance Evaluation of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

THIS PROJECT HAS NOW BEEN RESERVED!

Creator : Prof Bill Buchanan Room : C63

Outline :

This project will investigate the performance of IDS in relation to their actual true-positive rate for a range of network conditions, and assess how well they cope with different types of network traffic.

Deliverables :

•  Investigation of IDS systems, and their performance impact.

•  Investigation of evaluation tools for traffic playback and performance metric generation.

•  Design of a range of experiments for the evaluation.

•  Implementation of the tools for experiments.

•  Implementation of the experiments.

•  Evaluation results on the performance impact, especially for missing data under stress loadings.

Required Resources :

Standard Windows PC (possibly in a virtual environment).

Skillsets :

Server/Service configuration, tool generation, .NET, IDS configuration.
