What is responsible for determining if an intrusion has occurred?

+ Analyzer: receiving input from one or more sensors, responsible for determining if an intrusion has occurred. The output of this component is an indication that an intrusion has occurred and may include evidence supporting the conclusion that an intrusion has occurred.

Is running a packet sniffer an example of intrusion?

Running a packet sniffer on a workstation to capture usernames and passwords is an example of intrusion.

Is inserted into a network segment so that the traffic that is monitoring must pass through the sensor?

An inline sensor is inserted into a network segment so that the traffic that it is monitoring must pass through the sensor. One way to achieve an inline sensor is to combine NIDS sensor logic with another network device, such as a firewall or a LAN switch.

Is a security event that constitutes a security incident in which an intruder gains access to a system without having authorization to do so?

Definition(s): A security event, or a combination of multiple security events, that constitutes a security incident in which an intruder gains, or attempts to gain, access to a system or system resource without having authorization to do so.
