IDS Burglar Alarms: A How-To Guide
- Abstract
- In the context of this paper, a burglar alarm is defined as a cheap, expendable device used as an intrusion detection device. Although the concept of burglar alarms in Information Security has been around for years and the tools to build it have also existed for years, it is not a trivial task to build a burglar alarm. The goal of this paper is to make the task of building Intrusion Detection burglar alarms less daunting. The method chosen is to put together modular "how-to" guides. The pieces need to be modular because not all burglar alarms need the same functionality and pieces are updated on differing schedules.
