Research on intelligent intrusion prevention system based on Snort

Due to the limitation of the firewall and intrusion detection system in the information security domain, intrusion prevention system (IPS) appeared. It is a new generation information security technology following the firewall and intrusion detection technique. It is also a secure product that protects the network and system in real time from attacking, and now becomes a hotspot of research in network security domain. This article mainly focuses on the support vector machine (SVM) applying to Snort intrusion detection system, then implements a small scale intelligent intrusion prevention system by combining Snort intrusion detection system and firewall.
