Abstract

Network security has become a vital part for computer networks to ensure that they operate as expected. With many of today's services relying on networks it is of great importance that the usage of networks are not being compromised. One way to increase the security of a computer network is to implement a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). This system monitors the traffic sent to, from and within the network. This study investigates how a NIDS called SNORT with different configurations handles common network attacks. The knowledge of how SNORT managed the attacks is used to evaluate and indicate the vulnerability of different SNORT configurations. Different approaches on both how to bypass SNORT and how to detect attacks are described both theoretically, and practically with experiments. This study concludes that a carefully prepared configuration is the factor for SNORT to perform well in network intrusion detection.
