Chapter 8

Reputation-Based Detection

Abstract

The most basic form of intrusion detection is reputation-based detection. This type of detection is performed by attempting to identify communication between friendly hosts on the network you are protecting, and hosts on the Internet that are believed to be malicious based upon a reputation for malicious actions.

In this chapter, we will examine public reputation lists and several ways that reputation-based detection can be performed. This will include an overview of performing reputation-based detection with BASH Scripts, CIF, Snort, Suricata, and Bro.
