In the present milieu of connected world, where security is the major concern, Intrusion Detection System is the prominent area of research to deal with various types of attacks in network. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) finds the dynamic and malicious traffic of network, in accordance to the aspect of network. Various form of IDS has been developed working on distinctive approaches. One popular approach is machine learning in which various algorithms like ANN, SVM etc. have been used. But the most prominent method used is ANN. The performance of the ANN can significantly be improved by combining it with different metaheuristic algorithms. In present work, GWO is used to optimize ANN. For this KDD-99 data-set is used to classify various types of attacks i.e. denial of service (DOS), normal and other form of attack. The present paper provides detailed analysis of the performance of Artificial Neural Network and optimized Artificial Neural Network with GA, PSO and GWO. The research shows that ANN with GWO outperform as compared to others (ANN, ANN with PSO and ANN with GA).


Internet of Things (IoT) makes everything in the real world to get connected. The resource constrained characteristics and the different types of technology and protocols tend to the IoT be more vulnerable than the conventional networks. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a tool which monitors analyzes and detects the abnormalities in the network activities. Machine Learning techniques are implemented with the Intrusion detection systems to enhance the performance of IDS. Various studies on IoT reveals that Artificial Neural Network (ANN) provides better accuracy and detection rate than other approaches. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network based IDS (ANNIDS) technique based on Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is proposed to detect the attacks initiated by the Destination Oriented Direct Acyclic Graph Information Solicitation (DIS) attack and Version attack in IoT environment. Contiki O.S/Cooja Simulator 3.0 is used for the IoT simulation.

The illegal hackers  penetrate the servers and networks of corporate and financial institutions to gain money and extract vital information. The hacking varies from one computing system to many system. They gain access by sending malicious packets in the network through virus, worms, Trojan horses etc. The hackers scan a network through various tools and collect information of network and host. Hence it is very much essential to detect the attacks as they enter into a network. The methods  available for intrusion detection are Naive Bayes, Decision tree, Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, Artificial Neural Networks. A neural network consists of processing units in complex manner and able to store information and make it functional for use. It acts like human brain and takes knowledge from the environment through training and learning process. Many algorithms are available for learning process This work carry out research on analysis of malicious packets and predicting the error rate in detection of injured packets through artificial neural network algorithms.

The security of industrial control systems (ICSs) has received a lot of attention in recent years. ICSs were once closed networks. But with the development of IT technologies, ICSs have become connected to the Internet, increasing the potential of cyberattacks. Because ICSs are so tightly linked to human lives, any harm to them could have disastrous implications. As a technique of providing protection, many intrusion detection system (IDS) studies have been conducted. However, because of the complicated network environment and rising means of attack, it is difficult to cover all attack classes, most of the existing classification techniques are hard to deploy in a real environment since they cannot deal with the open set problem. We propose a novel artificial neural network based-methodology to solve this problem. Our suggested method can classify known classes while also detecting unknown classes. We conduct research from two points of view. On the one hand, we use the openmax layer instead of the traditional softmax layer. Openmax overcomes the limitations of softmax, allowing neural networks to detect unknown attack classes. During training, on the other hand, a new loss function termed center loss is implemented to improve detection ability. The neural network model learns better feature representations with the combined supervision of center loss and softmax loss. We evaluate the neural network on NF-BoT-IoT-v2 and Gas Pipeline datasets. The experiments show our proposed method is comparable with the state-of-the-art algorithm in terms of detecting unknown classes. But our method has a better overall classification performance.
