Nevertheless, the benefits which could be obtained from a better understanding of the problem itself as well as the improvement of these mechanisms, especially in network security, justify the demand for more research efforts in this direction. This article presents a survey on current anomaly detection methods for network intrusion detection in classical wired environments. After introducing the problem and elucidating its interest, a taxonomy of current solutions is presented. The outlined scheme allows us to systematically classify current detection methods as well as to study the different facets of the problem. The more relevant paradigms are subsequently discussed and illustrated through several case studies of selected systems developed in the field. The problems addressed by each of them as well as their weakest points are thus explained. Finally, this work concludes with an analysis of the problems that still remain open. Based on this discussion, some research lines are identified.", issn = "0140-3664", journal = "Computer Communications", pages = "1569-1584", title = "{A}nomaly {D}etection {M}ethods {I}n {W}ired {N}etworks: {A} {S}urvey {A}nd {T}axonomy", volume = "27", year = "2004", }
