RESUMO
The use of protection mechanisms must be improved due the increase of attacks from internal sources. As this kind of attack, made by internal users do not allow its immediate localization, it is necessary the integrated use of several technologies to enhance the defense capabilities of a system. Therefore, the introduction of mobile agents to provide security appears to be a natural solution. It will allow the distribution of the system monitoring tasks and automate the decision making process, in the absence of a human administrator. This project presents an evaluation of the use of mobile agents to add mobile capabilities to the process of intrusion detection in computer systems. A finer-grained approach is proposed, where small and independent agents monitor the system. This approach has significant advantages in terms of overhead, scalability and flexibility.
