Useful Python libraries for creating IDS software

Abstract

This paper considers contours of the possibilities of applying the selected Python libraries in order to detect intrusion attacks whose purpose is to penetrate secured network or secured computer. This paper elaborates Python libraries that can be used for monitoring network traffic and eventually use them for making IDS software (Intrusion detection system). After preview of libraries with those capabilities, a very simple use case of IDS soft ware solution is going to be presented, so that the readers can see how the mentioned libraries can be used for that kind of software.
