Introduction:

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors network system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a Management Station.

Intrusion prevention is the process of performing intrusion detection and attempting to stop detected possible incidents.

Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them, attempting to stop them, and reporting them to security administrators.

Intrusion prevention is the process of performing intrusion detection and attempting to stop detected possible incidents. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them, attempting to stop them, and reporting them to security administrators.

There are four type of intrusion detection and prevention system.

• Network based IDP

• Wireless IDP

• Network activities anomaly detection

• Host based IDP implementing misuse detection or anomaly detection methodology.

The goal of this research is to analyze intrusion detection techniques and evaluate feasible tool for detect unauthorized access.

Objectives:

It is very important for computer professionals to enlarge the knowledge of network and internet security to provide reliable and substantiate service to customers because of increasing rate of hackers and
