KMP-Intrusion-Detection-System

This IDS focuses on detecting intrusion attempts by matching patterns in network data (such as suspicious strings in payloads or requests). It integrates the Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) string-search algorithm for efficient pattern matching while also using auxiliary methods such as hashing and tries for indexing or rule-based detection.

This is an ongoing project and will be updated as I work on it.

Features

• Efficient Pattern Matching: Utilizes the Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) algorithm for fast and efficient string searching.
• Auxiliary Methods: Incorporates hashing and tries for indexing and rule-based detection.
• Real-time Detection: Capable of analyzing network data in real-time to detect intrusion attempts.
• Modular Design: Easy to extend and integrate with other systems.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/KMP-Intrusion-Detection-System.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd KMP-Intrusion-Detection-System

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Run the main script to start the IDS:
