Gautam, You bring up a good point in regards to common reporting output format for IDSs. In the late 90s, the IETF embarked upon the development of a Common Intrusion Detection Framework (CIDF). Standardizing of events, alarms, and reporting was one such goal. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the group's efforts at a CIDF ceased momentum in early 2000. I have been unable to find any updates on the IETF's efforts in this regard. A CIDF can and should be supported for each IDS (NIDS, HIDS, and to a larger extent firewalls and layer three devices) but understand an agreement on a CIDF is primal to this capability being provided.

Just wondering any plan to generate the report based on IDMEF? The reports in the system are generated using XML (report.xml?). I am of an opinion that a common output format should be required for all IDSs. This helps a lot when someone is interested in comparing them with others. thanks, Gautam On Tue, 19 Oct 2004 14:33:28 +0200 (CEST), Tomas Pluskal <plusik () pohoda cz> wrote:
Hello to all, I have implemented a new type of intrusion detection system for my Master thesis. I would like to announce this information, in case anyone would be interested in this research. The IDS system is designed as a kernel module for FreeBSD 5.2. It is
inspired
by the SpamAssassin program, which detects spam by applying a set of tests
to
every email message and counting a sum of point score generated by each
test.
My IDS system applies a set of tests to every running process in the OS
and
counts its score generated by the tests. Therefore, the purpose of the IDS
is
not to monitor the network traffic, but rather to monitor the process
activity.
The current system status is a "working prototype" - it is not ready for production usage, but it may serve as a good base for an interesting research.
