(IDS) were developed in response to the increasing frequency of attacks on networks. Typically, IDS software inspects host configuration files for risky settings, password files for suspect passwords and other areas to detect violations that could prove dangerous to the network. It also sets in place ways for the network to record suspicious activities and potential attack methods and to report them to an administrator. An IDS is similar to a firewall, but in addition to guarding against attacks from outside the network, an IDS identifies suspicious activity and attacks from within the system.
