  abstract =     "In this work, we investigate the ability of genetic
                 programming techniques to evolve valid network
                 patterns, while avoiding detectability by obfuscating
                 the intent of the traffic. In order to validate our
                 system's capabilities, we choose to evolve a port scan
                 attack while running the packets through an Intrusion
                 Detection System (IDS). In turn, the evolutionary
                 process uses feedback such that it minimizes the alarms
                 raised while port scanning across a network range.
                 Results build off of previous work allow us to further
                 analyze and understand what the role of introns, code
                 bloat, play in the systems ability to reduce the
                 detectability of it malicious behaviour.",
