Oops : )

Try going here:
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/pub_preview/nn_toc.html

or to the National Science Foundation and in its Search NSF type "neural
networks".  I found some other leads also here and there that should be able
to help.



I also found this person that may be able to help:

Also, I found this:

"SRI did in fact do some neural network experiments,
and if you contact Debra Anderson at debra@csl.sri.com
you can find out if the code is available."

      Discussion
     This introduction to ID covers the basic issues, describing the need
and the major approaches that have been used or are being researched. In
this way Sundaram reviews anomaly and misuse detection and methods. Under
the anomaly category, he reviews training the system through statistical
approaches, predictive patterns, and neural networks. Under the misuse
category he identifies: rule matching through expert systems; keystroke
monitoring, where particular key-strokes combinations may be indicative of a
intrusion attempt; model-based ID; and state transition analysis, where the
temporal sequence of an attempted intrusion is taken into account. He ends
by stating that "intrusion detection is still a fledgling field of
research."

      Discussion
     This dissertation describes a rule-based language called RUSSEL.
However, Chapter 2 provides a good review of related work in intrusion
detection. Mounji discusses, and provides examples of, tools that employ
either the anomaly or misuse approach, and methods that support these
approaches. Thus he identifies neural networks, predictive pattern
recognition and data clustering as examples of techniques supporting anomaly
detection. Within the misuse category he identifies rule base expert
systems, state transition, and colored Petri nets as possible approaches. He
also identifies benefits and drawbacks of the anomaly approach. Within the
misuse category, he only discusses benefits and drawbacks of STAT, a tool
that uses a state-transition approach to misuse detection. He concludes the
section with a discussion of the current problems of ID systems.

Abstract
We propose a distributed architecture with autonomous agents to monitor
security-related activity within a network. Each agent operates
cooperatively yet independently of the others, providing for efficiency,
real-time response and distribution of resources. This architecture provides
significant advantages in scalability, flexibility, extensibility, fault
tolerance, and resistance to compromise.

We also propose a scheme of escalating levels of alertness, and a way to
notify other agents on other computers in a network of attacks so they can
take preemptive or reactive measures. We designed a neural network to
measure and determine alert threshold values. A communication protocol is
proposed to relay these alerts throughout the network. We illustrate our
design with a detailed scenario.
