A Study on Network Intrusion Detection Based on Proactive Mechanism

In the current internet world where peoples are connected through communication channel and most of their data is hosted on the internet connected resources. Therefore the security is the major concern of this internet community to protect the resources and to protect the data hosted on these networks. In current trends, most of the end user are relying on the end security products such as Anti-viruses, Intrusion detection system, firewall etc. In this paper, we present the tools and techniques used to protect the networks and its associated resources and requirements for the proactive network intrusion detection mechanism which should be placed in line with the current intrusion detection system to protect the entire network. During this research, we will implement and design the proactive network security mechanism which will help to collect the attack traces. Further those collected attack traces can be used to strengthen the signature based detection mechanism.
