Host-Based IDS. A host-based IDS resides on a particular computer or server, known as the host, and monitors activity only on that system. HIDSs are also known as system integrity verifiers as they benchmark and monitor the status of key system files and detect when an intruder creates, modifies, or deletes monitored files. Most HIDSs work on the principle of configuration or change management, which means they record the sizes, locations, and other attributes of system files. The HIDS then triggers an alert when one of the following changes occurs: file attributes change; new files are created; or existing files are deleted. A HIDS has an advantage over NIDS in that it can usually be installed in such a way that it can access information that is encrypted when traveling over the network. A HIDS relies on the classification of files into various categories and then applies various notification actions, depending on the rules in the HIDS configuration. Managed HIDSs can monitor multiple computers simultaneously, by creating a configuration file on each monitored host and by making each HIDS report back to a master console system, which is usually located on the system administrator\u2019s computer.
