Welcome to Intrusion Detection Research Group (IDRG) at the University of Houston.

Computers and networks are subject to an increasing number of attacks. "Intrusion detection is the process of identifying and responding to malicious activity targeted at computing and networking resources," (from Intrusion Detection, by Edward Amoroso).

Currently we are investigating the following areas in intrusion detection and other areas of computer security.

• Stepping-stone: The goal is to prevent attackers from using our computing resources to attack other systems.
• Connection Traceback: The goal is to trace the connection back to the originating host.
• Information Leaking: The goal of this project is to quantify the information leaking so that we can compare them.
