Computer network intrusion detection software development

The recent proliferation of computer network usage for business and communication has witnessed an alarming rate of intrusion. The phenomenon is a grave concern in the academic environment since universities seldom have tight security measures, and the high bandwidth available makes them interesting targets as attack relay hosts. At Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, the software development process has adopted open-source approaches, where a simple open-source implementation of network intrusion detection has been improved to tailor it to the needs of the campus. The working prototype has been tested on a real-life implementation in the university environment for detecting, logging and alerting about computer network intrusions.
