monk-it - Efficient distributed monitoring, attack detection, and event correlation

The number, rate, and quality of attacks is steadily increasing with the enormous growth of the Internet, its concurrent users and services. The best-known examples are viruses and worms, which are reaching alarming scales. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) identified these threats and initiated the development of a national early warning system for Germany. This system should be able to detect and analyze attacks and to initiate adequate response measures. In general, such an early warning system has high demands on its timeliness and flexibility while it must be able to handle increasing amounts of data.
The monk-it project aims to develop, to implement, and to integrate two main building blocks for the described early warning system: an efficient network monitoring system working in a distributed environment for subsequent attack detection and event correlation techniques at higher layers. Passive network monitoring is a challenging task in current multi-gigabit networks. In the scope of this project, novel algorithms are investigated for the load-dependent re-configuration of distributed monitoring stations. Additionally, selected attack detection mechanisms, so named pre-processors, are moved directly into the monitoring task in order to reduce the amount of monitoring data to be analyzed at a central detection system. The final goal is to develop an "intelligent" self-organizing monitoring environment, which supports and simplifies further attack analysis.
Independently of the detection of singular attacks, the visibility of such attacks can be limited in the overall network. Event correlation techniques aim at producing more informative conclusions based on non-correlated single measures. This basically helps to detect distributed attacks and to enforce adequate countermeasures.
Altogether, both modules represent powerful parts of the envisioned early warning system. In order to simplify the use and the integration, standardized formats and protocols will be consequently used. Thus the project also encourages active participation in the IETF standardization processes.
