It is 04:30 AM, you are awakened by a text message, and your friendly IDS is telling you a bunch of disallowed systems are trying to connect to the internet. Within a few seconds you're awake, adrenaline pumping through your body; the disallowed connections aren't usual warnings like the truckload of false positives you handled yesterday. Apparently, the alerts were not so 'false' after all. It's going to be a long, long day...

Intrusion is one of the first phases in the so-called network invasion, this story tells you about what could happen after the first intrusion, what you could do, and what you shouldn't do.
