Intrusion in a host may cause damage to the critical memory, which contains important official files or databases. The mobile agent, a piece of code that makes parallel run on host, migrates through the network and performs the requested action. In this paper, we declare a new intrusion detection model using Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) for identification and recovery strategies. A memory trace model has been designed to identify the intrusion detection by using a memory tracer mobile agent. Memory Checksum plays a vital role in the identification of the intrusion. This model is designed for intrusion into a host, which alters the critical memory. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
