In this time of increasing cyber risks, robust intrusion detection systems (IDS) arefundamentally necessary for protecting network systems. This master thesis compares twoprimary network intrusion detection resources to clarify their effectiveness, advantages, andboundaries. The investigation follows a thorough approach, including reviewing existingliterature, practical experimentation, and assessing their performance. The primary goal revolves around a deeper comprehension of the operational procedures, threatdetection capacity, and scalability of the chosen IDS solutions. Through carefulexperimentation and scrutiny, this study investigates various elements such as detection accuracy, false favorable rates, the usage of resources, and resilience in varied networksituations. Real-life data sets and contrived attack situations are harnessed to measure the proficiency of these tools in identifying both identified and fresh intrusion efforts. Finally, our experimentation did not identify a single optimal tool due to certain imperfections in both evaluated tools. However, these findings were instrumental in concluding the properties that would constitute an ideal tool. In the end, this study propels the forward arena of networksecurity, offering a detailed insight into the capabilities and limitations of day-to-day intrusion detection tools. This study aims to strengthen cybersecurity defenses and nurture improved decision-making capabilities. These efforts mitigate the constantly changing threats caused byharmful entities in our digital world.
