We first present a new method for detecting a whole range of TCP attacks, and an extension of that method for detecting Distributed Denial of Service attacks. We then analyze two directions for enhancing performance: using cloud services to flexibly scale to higher IDS throughput; and leveraging hardware functionality in modern network cards for efficient multi-core processing.University of British Columbia2011-01-31T16:37:40Z2011-01-31T16:37:40Z20112011-01-31T16:37:40Z2011-05Electronic Thesis or Dissertationhttp://hdl.handle.net/2429/30978eng
