A new hybrid approach for intrusion detection using machine learning methods

摘要

In this study, a hybrid and layered Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is proposed that uses a combination of different machine learning and feature selection techniques to provide high performance intrusion detection in different attack types. In the developed system, firstly data preprocessing is performed on the NSL-KDD dataset, then by using different feature selection algorithms, the size of the dataset is reduced. Two new approaches have been proposed for feature selection operation. The layered architecture is created by determining appropriate machine learning algorithms according to attack type. Performance tests such as accuracy, DR, TP Rate, FP Rate, F-Measure, MCC and time of the proposed system are performed on the NSL-KDD dataset. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed system, it is compared with the studies in the literature and performance evaluation is done. It has been shown that the proposed system has high accuracy and a low false positive rates in all attack types.
