- Description
- Full packet analysis on firewalls and intrusion detection, although effec-tive, has been found in recent times to be detrimental to the overall per-formance of networks that receive large volumes of throughput. For this reason partial packet analysis algorithms such as the NetFlow protocol have emerged to better mitigate these bottlenecks. This research delves into implementing a hardware accelerated, scalable, high per-formance system for NetFlow analysis and attack mitigation. Further-more, this implementation takes on attack mitigation through collection and processing of network flows produced at the source, rather than at the site of incident. This research platform manages to scale out its back-end through dis-tributed analysis over multiple hosts using the ZeroMQ toolset. Fur-thermore, ZeroMQ allows for multiple NetFlow data publishers, so that plug-ins can subscribe to the publishers that contain the relevant data to further increase the overall performance of the system. The dedicat-ed custom hardware optimizes the received network flows through cleaning, summarization and re-ordering into an easy to pass form when given to the sequential component of the system; this being the back-end.
