Offline Network Monitoring System Using Multi-Agent Framework

A monitoring system plays an important role in the different open environments such as school, colleges, universities, offices, etc. An offline monitoring system continuously monitors the network and notify to the network administrator when any suspicious or abnormal activities happen within the network. The computer system has a standard processes along with somecredentials which are predefined and an attacker could reveal their actions by altering some important credentials of these system processes. Theproposed agent based offline network monitoring system used to find out the suspicious artifacts which may later become potential intrusions for the computer system. To detect the suspicious artifacts, the windows system processes related standard parameters are considered which gives the line between normal and abnormal behavior of the system. The proposedoffline network monitoring system developed using multi agent framework JADE which is useful to prevent the suspicious activities by abrupting them with the help of action agent.
