In addition to preventive mechanisms intrusion detection systems (IDS) are an important instrument to protect computer systems. Most IDSs used today realize the misuse detection approach. These systems analyze monitored events for occurrences of defined patterns (signatures), which indicate security violations. Up to now only little attention has been paid to the analysis efficiency of these sy...

Misuse detection can be addressed as an optimization problem, where the problem is to find an array of possible intrusions x that maximizes a function f (·) subject to a constraint r imposed by a user’s actions performed on a computer. This position paper presents and compares two ways of finding x, in audit data, by using neural networks and genetic algorithms.
