Hello 

My first impression when I finish read your reply is: Wow! 
I really too surprised by the words that you use to say that this isnt a thesis topic at this stage...


Plaese let me know what do you think about this papers....

Well When I post my first post on security focus :looking for a thesis topic in the area of IDS...
I began to revise the digital libraries of the ACM and the IEEE, and it was when I founded with those papers that 
caught my attention immediately ... 
I dont know ... I can't  understand what do you say that this isnt a thesis topic ... Could you explain a little more 
why you believe this?... Thanks

Now...

I DO NOT WANT TO PROVE ANYTHING TO ANYONE!!! Mr Ph.D Stefano Zanero Hopefully that is very clear ... I post this 
message because I want to find some people interested in this topic with which to share ideas and to work together with 
them, and I want to contribute woth some work, research or anything to the scientific community, academic community and 
professional community that works in computer security.

I dont uinderstand why you say : Has been beaten to death....

Maybe in this time they dont have the technology, the power of computing, the research that today exist about this kind 
of themes... This is were I in... to try to find something in that I can colaborate in this research.

Another of my main goals was to have exactly the discussions of this style, because that is when sampling if the issue 
really interesting because, draws attention or if I'm really trying on something obsolete ... 

I ask you ... 

If you believe that this topic is obsolete ... Why are still running papers related to this in IEEE and ACM at today? 

I respect your point of view ... And Believe me that I ask the same thing ... I want to find people who try to help me 
define my master's thesis, with questions that help to improve, questions that are constructive ... 

Now, what I'm going to do is from any point of these papers that I just show and start from there, trying to improve 
something, trying to bring new ideas ... For me, this topic is not dead ... You are Ph.D. and knows that for example 
the simplex method is from the'50s and today is still using this method and exist people that try to improved by using 
genetic algorithms or other kinds of algorithms, really Mr. Zanero I do not understand why you think in that way...

Finally
Please If you can... help me... If you cant help me... thanks so much...

In my country is very difficult find people who want to help me as a student in this topic, and it is more difficult to 
find people who know about the subject ... 
that is why I post this message here ...

Thanks so much...
