Design and Integration Principles for Large-Scale Infrastructure Protection
Edward Amoroso, AT&T
Basic intrusion detection design and integration principles are outlined for practical large-scale infrastructure protection schemes. Issues in the development of middleware for multi-vendor interoperability, algorithms for high-volume alarm processing, and visualization techniques for intrusion display are included.

Experiences Learned from Bro
Vern Paxson, Network Research Group, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs
Bro is a system for detecting network intruders in realtime by passively monitoring a network link. Its design emphasizes high-speed (FDDI-rate) monitoring, real-time notification, clear separation between mechanism and policy, and extensibility. To achieve these ends, Bro is divided into an "event engine" that reduces a kernel-filtered network traffic stream into a series of higher-level events, and a "policy script interpreter" that interprets event handlers written in a specialized language used to express a site's security policy. Bro has been in production use since early 1996. We discuss the structure of the system and the lessons learned from our experiences, with an emphasis on some of the key challenges for future intrusion detection systems.

5:00pm - 5:30pm     Works-in-Progress Reports (WIPs)
Session Chair: Marcus Ranum, Network Flight Recorder, Inc.
Do you have interesting work you would like to share, or a cool idea that is not yet ready to be published? The USENIX audience provides valuable discussion and feedback. Short, pithy, and fun, Works-in-Progress Reports (WIPs) introduce interesting new or ongoing work. We are particularly interested in presentation of student work. Prospective speakers should send a short one- or two-paragraph report, to idwips@usenix.org

A schedule of presentations will be posted at the conference and the speakers will be notified in advance. Works-in-Progress Reports are five-minute presentations; the time limit will be strictly enforced.
