IDS| HIDS Vs NIDS| Host based Intrusion Detection System Vs Network Based Intrusion Detection System | IDS Types

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) usually consists of a network appliance (or sensor) with a Network Interface Card (NIC) operating in promiscuous mode and a separate management interface. The IDS is placed along a network segment or boundary and monitors all traffic on that segment.

A Host Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) and software applications (agents) installed on workstations which are to be monitored. The agents monitor the operating system and write data to log files and/or trigger alarms. A host Intrusion detection systems (HIDS) can only monitor the individual workstations on which the agents are installed and it cannot monitor the entire network. Host based IDS systems are used to monitor any intrusion attempts on critical servers.

The drawbacks of Host Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) are

• Difficult to analyse the intrusion attempts on multiple computers.

• Host Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) can be very difficult to maintain in large networks with different operating systems and configurations
• Host Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) can be disabled by attackers after the system is compromised.
