NeMODe is a declarative system for computer network intrusion detection, providing a declarative domain specific language for describing network intrusion signatures which can span several network packets, by stating constraints over network packets, describing relations between several packets in a declarative and expressive way. It provides several back-end detection mechanisms, all based on a constraint programming framework, to perform the detection of the desired signatures. In this work, we demonstrate how to model and perform the detection of distributed network attacks using each of the detection mechanisms provided by NeMODe, based in Gecode, adaptive search and MiniSat to perform the detection of the specific intrusions. We also use the sliding network traffic window version of the adaptive search back-end detection mechanism to simulate live network traffic and evaluate the performance of the system in conditions near to real life networks.
