Abstract After the digital revolution, large quantities of data have been generated with time through various networks. The networks have made the process of data analysis very difficult by detecting attacks using suitable techniques. While Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) secure resources against threats, they still face challenges in improving detection accuracy, reducing false alarm rates, and detecting the unknown ones. This paper presents a framework to integrate data mining classification algorithms and association rules to implement network intrusion detection. Several experiments have been performed and evaluated to assess various machine learning classifiers based on the KDD99… More >

Abstract Anomaly classification based on network traffic features is an important task to monitor and detect network intrusion attacks. Network-based intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) using machine learning (ML) methods are effective tools for protecting network infrastructures and services from unpredictable and unseen attacks. Among several ML methods, random forest (RF) is a robust method that can be used in ML-based network intrusion detection solutions. However, the minimum number of instances for each split and the number of trees in the forest are two key parameters of RF that can affect classification accuracy. Therefore, optimal parameter selection… More >
