PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
Project Name OWASP AppSensor Project - Detect and Respond to Attacks from Within the Application
Short Project Description

Real Time Application Attack Detection and Response

Overview

Article on why Application Based Intrusion Detection is a must for critical applications.

The AppSensor project defines a conceptual framework and methodology that offers prescriptive guidance to implement intrusion detection and automated response into an existing application. Current efforts are underway to create the AppSensor tool which can be utilized by any existing application interested in adding detection and response capabilities.

Detection

AppSensor defines over 50 different detection points which can be used to identify a malicious attacker.

Response

AppSensor provides guidance on how to respond once a malicious attacker has been identified. Possible actions include: logging out the user, locking the account or notifying an administrator. More than a dozen response actions are described.

Defending the Application

An attacker often requires numerous probes and attack attempts in order to locate an exploitable vulnerability within the application. By using AppSensor it is possible to identify and eliminate the threat of an attacker before they are able to successfully identify an exploitable flaw.
