Abstract

In order to solve the security problems of instant messaging, a new Instant Messaging Software (IMS) intrusion detection method has been proposed in this paper. Intrusion Detection is an important component of the security of the Network，through the critical information of the network and host system, it can determine the user’s invasion of illegal and legal acts of the user misuse of resources and make an adequate response.Instant messaging software provides a platform for the communication of information. It’s convenient for people to communicate, at the same time enterprises and institutions, companies, families; local area network has security implications. Such as access to user's personal information and the company's trade secrets; dissemination of pornography, reactionary remarks; provide attack corridors for Trojans and worms. Therefore, study the detection and blocking techniques of instant messaging software to protect the security of local area network has great application value. According to the detection method of IMS, detection and blocking architecture of IMS is presented and developed at the Windows platform. The rule base store in the configuration file, users can add their own IMS, detection and blocking the rules, users can also add other applications, features, so that the system has better scalability and practicality.
