Abstract

Securing communication networks can no longer be ensured by singular and isolated security technologies like Internet firewalls or intrusion detection systems but rather calls for a combination of existing and emerging detection and response mechanisms, e.g. DDoS response mechanisms, anomaly detection, honey pots, etc. Today, most current systems prove to be too static to provide an adequate platform for a constructive teamwork of different security technologies. Therefore, we developed the FIDRAN framework for flexible intrusion dection and response that is based on an underlying active networking environment and that allows to dynamically combine existing and emerging security technologies. FIDRAN follows a
