APHIDS++: A Mobile Agent Based Intrusion Detection System

Research on Behavior-based Detection Method for Mobile Application Security

“…Smartphone malware effects [2] There are two major technologies in the field of malware detection. One is the firewall which is a device or set of devices designed to permit or deny network transmissions based upon a set of rules and is frequently used to protect networks from unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communications to pass [3]. It comprises four parts: service access policy, verification tools, packet filters and application gateway.…”

Advanced Methods for Botnet Intrusion Detection Systems

“…Based on our previous experience on mobile agent based intrusion detection systems (Alam et al, 2005;Alam & Vuong, 2007), and an in-depth understanding of the behavior of botnets, we believe the appropriate approach to defend against botnets is to adapt a mobile-agent based paradigm in combination with current host monitoring techniques, to detect bot infected hosts based on bot behavior analysis. Our proposed approach predominantly would work for a local or remote environment with a single administrative entity with access to network level data of monitored hosts and optionally, access to the host machine via mobile-agent middleware if host-based bot behavior features are need.…”
