Arun Saxena, A.K.Sharma . Article:An Agent based Distributed Security System for Intrusion Detection in Computer Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 12, 3 ( December 2010), 18-27. DOI=10.5120/1659-2234
Intruders damage or steal valuable information by either bypassing security tools or penetrating through them, necessitating the need to detect such intrusion attempts especially in case of multi-event based distributed attacks spanning over a considerable amount of time. In this paper ecology of agents is being suggested that uses class hierarchy to define complex intrusions. The source and target containers produced thereof are analyzed for possible intrusion attempts thereby rendering the proposed system self-monitoring, robust, secure and reliable.
