Abstract(in English) We propose a method to reduce processing load for signature matching and IOwait time for log output of signature-based intrusion detection systems (IDSes) against DoS attacks. The method consists of the flowing two ideas: (1) To improve the detection efficiency, holding a history of pairs of signature ID matched with a substring and offset pointing to the substring in attack packets, we perform a prioritized search in the history. (2) To reduce the IOwait time, without issuing a large amount of alerts, we refer to an alert history and cancel the log output events and count the number of detections if the same kind of attacks has been detected within short period. Experimental evaluation using the standard Snort with modifications according to the proposed ideas revealed that processing load of the IDS is reduced by 70% and 40% against a typical DoS attack and multiple kinds of DoS attacks, respectively.
