A genetic clustering method for intrusion detection

摘要

Traditional intrusion detection methods lack extensibility in face of changing network configurations as well as adaptability in face of unknown attack types. Meanwhile, current machine-learning algorithms need labeled data for training first, so they are computational expensive and sometimes misled by artificial data. In this paper, a new detection algorithm, the Intrusion Detection Based on Genetic Clustering (IDBGC) algorithm, is proposed. It can automatically establish clusters and detect intruders by labeling normal and abnormal groups. Computer simulations show that this algorithm is effective for intrusion detection.
