Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new approach to reducing the high levels of false positives encountered when deploying an intrusion detection system using Snort in a real live networking environment. We carry out an analysis of the effectiveness of such method in different networking environments. We conclude that the level of false positives is reduced considerably with the introduction of our implemented pass rules and that the rates at which false positives are generated become manageable.
