Abstract:
1. A method of detecting an intrusion in a host computer that is connected to an intrusion detection management system comprising: executing on the host computer, an intrusion detection system agent, and an intrusion detection system enabled application, where the intrusion detection system enabled application includes an application program and an intrusion detection system module, and wherein the application program provides application functionality that is unrelated to detecting intrusions and also interacts with the intrusion detection system module to perform at least one of detecting intrusions and taking action in response to detected intrusion; calling the intrusion detection system module by the application program of the corresponding intrusion detection system enabled application with an initialization request to begin intrusion detection; obtaining, by the intrusion detection system module, an intrusion detection system policy specifically configured for the intrusion detection system enabled application; and detecting for intrusions by the intrusion detection system enabled application by: wherein: identifying by the application program, the information to be checked for intrusions comprises: evaluating selectively, by the intrusion detection system module, the information to be checked for intrusions against the intrusion detection system policy comprises:
