IDS Algorithm and Data Source modules for testing IDS algorithms. Copyright 2005-2007 Kenneth Ingham. All rights reserved. This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. No special prerequisites *UNLESS* you are going to be debugging DFAs. Then you need PerlTk. If you are a tester or good perl coder, I would love to get suggestions about how to make this independent of the DFA code, since it has to dig deeply into the DFA code to allow the debugging. This software was research software that I used as a part of my PhD research. You can get my dissertation at http://www.i-pi.com/~ingham/dissertation-twoside.pdf Parts of this software were described in the following journal articles/conference presentations: @article{ingham2007jocn, author = "Kenneth L. Ingham and Anil Somayaji and John Burge and Stephanie Forrest", title = "Learning {DFA} Representations of {HTTP} for Protecting Web Applications", month = "11 April", year = 2007, journal = "Computer Networks", volume = 51, number = 5, pages = "1239--1255 ", doi = "http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.comnet.2006.09.016", } Expected changes/enhancements: I do not intend on enhancing this software further, but it all depends on how post-PhD research goes. I solicit bug reports and enhancements. This note will change (and the version number of the package will also change) if this state of affairs changes. Revision history: Version 1.0: First public release.
