Abstract :
Because of the confidential and important information contained inside the local area network (LAN) of the companies or government departments, the network interior´s security problem highlights gradually. On the basis of the fact that firewall and intrusion detection systems can not effectively protect the security in LAN, this paper proposes a multi-Agent network security audit system model, and at the same time, an improved detection algorithm based on information entropy is introduced into the audit system. During the system´s running time, the improved algorithm is used to simulate and detect the DDoS attack. The experiment results prove that the multi-Agent system running in LAN can audit part of the intrusion effectively and improve log data analysis intelligence.
