Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) are systems that monitor computer networks to detect, identify and prevent the malicious events, which attempt to compromise the integrity, confidentiality or availability of computer networks. The NIDS may be classified according to the detection technique into two types, the "Signature-Based" and "Anomaly-Based" NIDS. In order to increase the efficiency of the NIDS, a hybrid signature-anomaly NIDS based on both snort and negative selection algorithm is proposed. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed system the 1999 DARPA data set is used. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed system is more efficient than using snort on its own.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
