HIDMN: A Host and Network-Based Intrusion Detection for Mobile Networks

Network-based methods of intrusion detection alone are not adequate to encounter current and future threats in mobile networks. In this paper, we introduce HIDMN, a host and network-based intrusion detection and prevention system for mobile networks. In addition, we outline some patterns for significant attacks in the GSM mobile network. This system can detect most attacks which we divide them into three classes: Denial of Services, fake BTS-based attacks and SIM cloning. Using SIM-based methods as a main part of IDS for detecting and responding to attacks is another novelty of HIDMN.
