| Summary : NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System) components, namely E-component
|
Description :
Libnids is a library that provides a functionality of one of NIDS
(Network Intrusion Detection System) components, namely E-component. It
means
that libnids code watches all local network traffic, cooks received
datagrams
a bit (quite a bit ;)), and provides convinient information on them to
analyzing modules of NIDS. Libnids performs:
a) assembly of TCP segments into TCP streams
b) IP defragmentation
c) TCP port scan detection
More technical info can be found in MISC file.
So, if you intend to develop a custom NIDS, you don\'t have to
build
low-level network code. If you decide to use libnids, you have got
E-component ready - you can focus on implementing other parts of NIDS.
