The GA-IDS is a full-fledged host based intrusion detection system developed using the Java programming language to help detect packets having spoofed IP addresses. It first and foremost sniffs the incoming packets on the host system and there after analyzes them in order to detect an intrusion. Considering the fact that this sniffing process is a low level operation, the java application makes use of the Java Packet Capturing Library (JpCap) which works in conjunction with the Windows Packet Capturing Library (WinpCap). - View it on GitHub
