Security against probe-response attacks in collaborative intrusion detection
Vitaly Shmatikov, Ming-Hsiu Wang · 2007
Probe-response attacks are a new threat for collaborative intrusion detection systems. A probe is an attack which is deliberately crafted so that its target detects and reports it with a recognizable "fingerprint" in the report. The attacker then uses the collaborative infrastructure to learn the detector's location and defensive capabilities from this report.
