The assignment

Application level intrusion detection

The amount of machines in a radar increases and the risk of a system getting hacked increases. For that reason, focus on cyber security is essential. One of the possibilities is to use application level intrusion detection. With application level detection it is possible to detect attacks that use ports, for external communication, that can not be blocked in the firewall.

All internal and external communication in a Radar System is described in a Domain Specific Language (DSL), which is based on Apache AVRO schemas.

Existing Intrusion Detection Systems like BRO and Suricata offer the option to write plugins using custom scripts.

Investigate if it is possible to write a custom script, using the AVRO schemas as input, that analyzes the network traffic at application level.

Investigate the performance impact of such a custom script.

Extend one of our existing demonstrators with such an IDS system.

Optionally: see if the IDS can handle encrypted connections
