AbstractNetwork attacks are illegal activities on digital resources within an organizational network with the express intention of compromising systems. A cyber attack can be directed by individuals, communities, states or even from an anonymous source. Hackers commonly conduct network attacks to alter, damage, or steal private data. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are the best and most effective techniques when it comes to tackle these threats. An IDS is a software application or hardware device that monitors traffic to search for malevolent activity or policy breaches. Moreover, IDSs are designed to be deployed in different environments, and they can either be host-based or network-based. A host-based intrusion detection system is installed on the client computer, while a network-based intrusion detection system is located on the network. IDSs based on deep learning have been used in the past few years and proved their effectiveness. However, these approaches produce a big false negative rate, which impacts the performance and potency of network security. In this paper, a detection model based on long short-term memory (LSTM) and Attention mechanism is proposed. Furthermore, we used four reduction algorithms, namely: Chi-Square, UMAP, Principal Components Analysis (PCA), and Mutual information. In addition, we evaluated the proposed approaches on the NSL-KDD dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that using Attention with all features and using PCA with 03 components had the best performance, reaching an accuracy of 99.09% and 98.49% for binary and multiclass classification, respectively.

Packet Inspection

The problem of load balancing in intrusion detection systems is considered in this paper. The analysis of existing problems of load balancing and modern methods of their solution are carried out. Types of intrusion detection systems and their description are given. A description of the intrusion detection system, its location, and the functioning of its elements in the computer system are provided. Comparative analysis of load balancing methods based on packet inspection and service time calculation is performed. An analysis of the causes of load imbalance in the intrusion detection system elements and the effects of load imbalance is also presented. A model of a network intrusion detection system based on packet signature analysis is presented. This paper describes the multifractal properties of traffic. Based on the analysis of intrusion detection systems, multifractal traffic properties and load balancing problem, the method of balancing is proposed, which is based on the funcsioning of the intrusion detection system elements and analysis of multifractal properties of incoming traffic. The proposed method takes into account the time of deep packet inspection required to compare a packet with signatures, which is calculated based on the calculation of the information flow multifractality degree. Load balancing rules are generated by the estimated average time of deep packet inspection and traffic multifractal parameters. This paper presents the simulation results of the proposed load balancing method compared to the standard method. It is shown that the load balancing method proposed in this paper provides for a uniform load distribution at the intrusion detection system elements. This allows for high speed and accuracy of intrusion detection with high-quality multifractal load balancing.

Accuracy Increase

Network technologies have been steadily developing and their application has been expanding. One of the aspects of the development is a modification of the current network attacks and the appearance of new ones. The anomalies that can be detected in network traffic conform with such attacks. Development of new and improvement of the current approaches to detect anomalies in network traffic have become an urgent task. The article suggests a hybrid approach to detect anomalies on the basis of the combined signature approach and computationally effective classifiers of machine learning: logistic regression, stochastic gradient descent and decision tree with accuracy increase due to weighted voting. The choice of the classifiers is explained by the admissible complexity of the algorithms that allows detection of network traffic events for the time close to real. Signature analysis is carried out with the help of the Zeek IDS (Intrusion Detection System) signature base. Learning is fulfilled by preliminary prepared (by excluding extra recordings and parameters) CICIDS2017 (Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity Intrusion Detection System) signature set by cross validation. The set is roughly divided into ten parts that allows us to increase the accuracy. Experimental evaluation of the developed approach comparing with individual classifiers and with other approaches by such criteria as part of type I and II errors, accuracy and level of detection, has proved the approach suitable to be applied in network attacks detection systems. It is possible to introduce the developed approach into both existing and new anomaly detection systems.

Combination Of Classifiers

Intrusion detection is an emerging area of research in the computer security and net-works with the growing usage of internet in everyday life. Most intrusion detection systems (IDSs) mostly use a single classifier algorithm to classify the network traffic data as normal behavior or anomalous. However, these single classifier systems fail to provide the best possible attack detection rate with low false alarm rate. In this paper,we propose to use a hybrid intelligent approach using a combination of classifiers in order to make the decision intelligently, so that the overall performance of the resul-tant model is enhanced. The general procedure in this is to follow the supervised or un-supervised data filtering with classifier or cluster first on the whole training dataset and then the output are applied to another classifier to classify the data. In this re- search, we applied Neural Network with Supervised and Unsupervised Learning in order to implement the intrusion detection system. Moreover, in this project, we used the method of Parallelization with real time application of the system processors to detect the systems intrusions.Using this method enhanced the speed of the intrusion detection. In order to train and test the neural network, NSLKDD database was used. Creating some different intrusion detection systems, each of which considered as a single agent, we precisely proceeded with the signature-based intrusion detection of the network.In the proposed design, the attacks have been classified into 4 groups and each group is detected by an Agent equipped with intrusion detection system (IDS).These agents act independently and report the intrusion or non-intrusion in the system; the results achieved by the agents will be studied in the Final Analyst and at last the analyst reports that whether there has been an intrusion in the system or not.Keywords: Intrusion Detection, Multi-layer Perceptron, False Positives, Signature- based intrusion detection, Decision tree, Nave Bayes Classifier

Clustering Approach

The objective of this paper is to propose and develop a hybrid intrusion detection system to handle series and non-series data by applying the two different concepts that are named clustering and autocorrelation function in a single architecture. There is a need to propose and build a system that can handle both types of data whether it is series or non-series. Therefore, the authors used two concepts to generate a robust approach to craft a hybrid intrusion detection system. The authors utilize an unsupervised clustering approach that is used to categorize the data based on domain similarity to handle non-series data and another approach is based on autocorrelation function to handle series data. The approach is consumed in single architecture where it carries data as input from both host-based intrusion detection systems and network-based intrusion detection systems. The result shows that the hybrid intrusion detection system is categorizing data based on the optimal number of clusters obtained through the elbow method in clustering.

Network Intrusion

The connectivity of our surrounding objects to the internet plays a tremendous role in our daily lives. Many network applications have been developed in every domain of life, including business, healthcare, smart homes, and smart cities, to name a few. As these network applications provide a wide range of services for large user groups, the network intruders are prone to developing intrusion skills for attack and malicious compliance. Therefore, safeguarding network applications and things connected to the internet has always been a point of interest for researchers. Many studies propose solutions for intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems. Network communities have produced benchmark datasets available for researchers to improve the accuracy of intrusion detection systems. The scientific community has presented data mining and machine learning-based mechanisms to detect intrusion with high classification accuracy. This paper presents an intrusion detection system based on the ensemble of prediction and learning mechanisms to improve anomaly detection accuracy in a network intrusion environment. The learning mechanism is based on automated machine learning, and the prediction model is based on the Kalman filter. Performance analysis of the proposed intrusion detection system is evaluated using publicly available intrusion datasets UNSW-NB15 and CICIDS2017. The proposed model-based intrusion detection accuracy for the UNSW-NB15 dataset is 98.801 percent, and the CICIDS2017 dataset is 97.02 percent. The performance comparison results show that the proposed ensemble model-based intrusion detection significantly improves the intrusion detection accuracy.

Experimental Findings

<p>The task of network security is to keep services available at all times by dealing with hacker attacks. One of the mechanisms obtainable is the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) which is used to sense and classify any abnormal actions. Therefore, the IDS system should always be up-to-date with the latest hacker attack signatures to keep services confidential, safe, and available. IDS speed is a very important issue in addition to learning new attacks. A modified selection strategy based on features was proposed in this paper one of the important swarm intelligent algorithms is the Meerkat Clan Algorithm (MCA). Meerkat Clan Algorithm has good diversity solutions through its neighboring generation conduct and it was used to solve several problems. The proposed strategy benefitted from mutual information to increase the performance and decrease the consumed time. Two datasets (NSL-KDD &amp; UNSW-NB15) for Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) have been used to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental findings indicate that, compared to other approaches, the proposed algorithm produces good results in a minimum of time.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

The modern car is a complicated system consisting of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) with engines, detectors and wired and wireless communication protocols, that communicate through different types of intra-car networks. The cyber-physical design relies on this ECU network that has been susceptible to several kinds of attacks using wireless, internal and external access. The internal network contains several security vulnerabilities that make it possible to launch attacks via buses and propagation over the entire ECU network, therefore anomaly detection technology, which represents the security protection, can efficiently reduce security threats. So, this paper proposes new Intrusion Detection System (IDS) using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to monitor the state of the car by information collected from internal buses and to achieve security, safety of the internal network The parameters building the ANN structure are trained CAN packet information to devise the fundamental statistical attribute of normal and attacking packets and in defense, extracted the related attribute to classify the attack. Experimental evaluation on Open Car Test-Bed and Network Experiments (OCTANE) show that the proposed IDS achieves acceptable performance in terms of intrusions detection. Results show its capability to detect attacks with false-positive rate of 1.7 %, false-negative rate 24.6 %, and average accuracy of 92.10 %.
