SAMARA SOCIEDADE DE AGENTES PARA A MONITORAÇÃO DE ATAQUES E RESPOSTAS AUTOMATIZADAS

Abstract

The traditional security techniques applied in computer networks try to block attacks (using firewalls) or to detect them as soon as they happen (using Intrusion Detection Systems). Both are of recognized value, however, they have limitations. In that sense, there is to innovate as for techniques and defense tactics, as well as the tools and technologies that complement the traditional mechanisms applied in network and computer security. One of these solutions have been using honeypots (networks traps) to collect information, motives, tactics and tools used in malicious network activities and distributed systems. This research work introduce an architecture for automated incident response, called SAMARA, based on honeypots and intelligent agents, created to support the functional requisites of decoy server and honeynet agents proposed for NIDIA Project Network Intrusion Detection System based on Intelligent Agents [18], but that can be adjust to others detection, prevention and reaction approaches of security incidents in network and distributed systems.
