ABSTRACT: The extensive access of network interaction
has made present networks more responsive to earlier intrusions. In distributed
network intrusions, there are many computing nodes that are assisted by
intruders. The evidence of intrusions is to be associated from all the held up
nodes. From the last few years, mobile agent based technique in intrusion
detection system (IDS) has been widely used to detect intrusion over
distributed network. This paper presented survey of several existing mobile
agent based intrusion detection system and comparative analysis report between
them. Furthermore we have focused on each attribute of analysis, for example
technique (NIDS, HIDS or Hybrid), behavior layer, detection techniques for
analysis, uses of mobile agent and technology used by existing IDS, strength
and issues. Their strengths and issues are situational wherever appropriate. We
have observed that some of the existing techniques are used in IDS which causes
low detection rate, behavior layers like TCP connection for packet capturing
which is most important activity in NIDS and response time (technology execution
time) with memory consumption by mobile agent as major issues.
