Intrusion detection and response are critical in modern computing environments. In this paper, the authors focus on host-based intrusion detection, since once an intruder gains access it is very important to know what they did, how they did it and to formulate what recovery steps can be taken. The Linux kernel has historically had limited tools for generating and analyzing audit data. The approach supports capturing the inputs, results and security credentials of each process at each system call. By focusing on the interface between user space and kernel space, it can characterize intrusions. The authors expect tight coupling of data mining with the kernel instrumentation to provide rapid feedback that enhances security and allows for refinement of both the instrumentation and mining approaches.
