This paper presents a novel approach for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on one kind of asymmetric optimization which use any three already well-known IDS algorithms and Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) algorithm together. Namely, a variable threshold which indicates an attack on an observed and protected network is determined by using all three values obtained with three known IDS algorithms i.e., on previously recorded data by making a decision by majority. For these algorithms authors used algorithm of k-nearest neighbors, cumulative sum algorithm, and algorithm of exponentially weighted moving average. Using a proposed method we can get a threshold that is more precisely determined than in the case of any method individual. Practically, using TMR we obtain a dynamically threshold adjustment of IDS software, which reduces the existence of false alarms and undetected attacks, so the efficiency of such IDS software is notably higher and can get better results. Today, Denial of Service attacks (DoS) are one of the most present type of attacks and the reason for the special attention paid to them in this paper. In addition, the authors of the proposed method for IDS software used a known CIC-DDoS2019 dataset, which contains various data recordings of such attacks. Obtained results with the proposed solution showed better characteristics than each individual used algorithm in this solution. IDS software with the proposed method worked precisely and timely, which means alarms were triggered properly and efficiently.

Intrusion detection system (IDS) plays a vital and crucial role in a computer security. However, they suffer from a number of problems such as low detection of DoS (denial-of-service)/DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks with a high rate of false alarms. In this chapter, a new technique for detecting DoS attacks is proposed; it detects DOS attacks using a set of classifiers and visualizes them in real time. This technique is based on the collection of network parameter values (data packets), which are automatically represented by simple geometric graphs in order to highlight relevant elements. Two implementations for this technique are performed. The first is based on the Euclidian distance while the second is based on KNN algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed technique has been proven through a simulation of network traffic drawn from the 10% KDD and a comparison with other classification techniques for intrusion detection.

In today’s world, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is one of the significant tools used to the improvement of network security, by detecting attacks or abnormal data accesses. Most of existing IDS have many disadvantages such as high false alarm rates and low detection rates. For the IDS, dealing with distributed and massive data constitutes a challenge. Besides, dealing with imprecise data is another challenge. This paper proposes an Intrusion Detection System based on big data fuzzy analytics; Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) method is used to cluster and classify the pre-processed training dataset. The CTU-13 and the UNSW-NB15 are used as distributed and massive datasets to prove the feasibility of the method. The proposed system shows high performance in terms of accuracy, precision, detection rates, and false alarms.

Abstract In modern times the firewall and antivirus packages are not good enough to protect the organization from numerous cyber attacks. Computer IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is a crucial aspect that contributes to the success of an organization. IDS is a software application responsible for scanning organization networks for suspicious activities and policy rupturing. IDS ensures the secure and reliable functioning of the network within an organization. IDS underwent huge transformations since its origin to cope up with the advancing computer crimes. The primary motive of IDS has been to augment the competence of detecting the attacks without endangering the performance of the network. The research paper elaborates on different types and different functions performed by the IDS. The NSL KDD dataset has been considered for training and testing. The seven prominent classifiers LR (Logistic Regression), NB (Naïve Bayes), DT (Decision Tree), AB (AdaBoost), RF (Random Forest), kNN (k Nearest Neighbor), and SVM (Support Vector Machine) have been studied along with their pros and cons and the feature selection have been imposed to enhance the reading of performance evaluation parameters (Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1Score). The paper elaborates a detailed flowchart and algorithm depicting the procedure to perform feature selection using XGB (Extreme Gradient Booster) for four categories of attacks: DoS (Denial of Service), Probe, R2L (Remote to Local Attack), and U2R (User to Root Attack). The selected features have been ranked as per their occurrence. The implementation have been conducted at five different ratios of 60-40%, 70-30%, 90-10%, 50-50%, and 80-20%. Different classifiers scored best for different performance evaluation parameters at different ratios. NB scored with the best Accuracy and Recall values. DT and RF consistently performed with high accuracy. NB, SVM, and kNN achieved good F1Score.

Abstract In cloud security, intrusion detection system (IDS) is one of the challenging research areas. In a cloud environment, security incidents such as denial of service, scanning, malware code injection, virus, worm, and password cracking are getting usual. These attacks surely affect the company and may develop a financial loss if not distinguished in time. Therefore, securing the cloud from these types of attack is very much needed. To discover the problem, this paper suggests a novel IDS established on a combination of a leader-based k-means clustering (LKM), optimal fuzzy logic system. Here, at first, the input dataset is grouped into clusters with the use of LKM. Then, cluster data are afforded to the fuzzy logic system (FLS). Here, normal and abnormal data are inquired by the FLS, while FLS training is done by the grey wolf optimization algorithm through maximizing the rules. The clouds simulator and NSL-Knowledge Discovery and DataBase (KDD) Cup 99 dataset are applied to inquire about the suggested method. Precision, recall, and F-measure are conceived as evaluation criteria. The obtained results have denoted the superiority of the suggested method in comparison with other methods.

The advent of the Smart Grid (SG) raises severe cybersecurity risks that can lead to devastating consequences. In this paper, we present a novel anomaly-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS), called ARIES (smArt gRid Intrusion dEtection System), which is capable of protecting efficiently SG communications. ARIES combines three detection layers that are devoted to recognising possible cyberattacks and anomalies against (a) network flows, (b) Modbus/Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets and (c) operational data. Each detection layer relies on a Machine Learning (ML) model trained using data originating from a power plant. In particular, the first layer (network flow-based detection) performs a supervised multiclass classification, recognising Denial of Service (DoS), brute force attacks, port scanning attacks and bots. The second layer (packet-based detection) detects possible anomalies related to the Modbus packets, while the third layer (operational data based detection) monitors and identifies anomalies upon operational data (i.e., time series electricity measurements). By emphasising on the third layer, the ARIES Generative Adversarial Network (ARIES GAN) with novel error minimisation functions was developed, considering mainly the reconstruction difference. Moreover, a novel reformed conditional input was suggested, consisting of random noise and the signal features at any given time instance. Based on the evaluation analysis, the proposed GAN network overcomes the efficacy of conventional ML methods in terms of Accuracy and the F1 score.

Comprehensive development of computer networks causes the increment of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These types of attacks can easily restrict communication and computing. Among all the previous researches, the accuracy of the attack detection has not been properly addressed. In this study, deep learning technique is used in a hybrid network-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect intrusion on network. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated on the NSL-KDD and ISCXIDS 2012 datasets. We performed traffic visual analysis using Wireshark tool and did some experimentations to prove the superiority of the proposed method. The results have shown that our proposed method achieved higher accuracy in comparison with other useful machine learning techniques.
