An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a defense system, which detects hostile activities in a network. The key is then to detect and possibly prevent activities that may compromise system security, or a hacking attempt in progress including reconnaissance/data collection phases that involve e.g. port scans One key feature of intrusion detection systems is their ability to provide a view of unusual activity and issue alerts notifying administrators and/or block a suspected connection. Intrusion detection is a process of identifying and responding to malicious activity targeted at computing and networking resources.
