Distributed Service Denial (DDoS) is a type of network attack, which each year increases in volume and intensity.  DDoS attacks also form part of the major types of cyber security threats so far. Early detection plays a key role in avoiding the catastrophic effects on server infrastructure from DDoS attacks. Detection techniques in the traditional Intrusion Detection System (IDS) are far from perfect compared to a number of modern techniques and tools used by attackers, because the traditional IDS only uses signature-based detection or anomaly-based detection models and causes a lot of false positive flags, since the flow of computer network data packets has complex properties in terms of both size and source. Based on the  deficiency in the ordinary IDS, this study aims to detect DDoS attacks by using machine learning techniques to enhance IDS policy development.  According to the experiment the selection of features plays an important role in the precision of the detection results and in the performance of machine learning in classification problems. The combination of seven key selected dataset features used as an input neural network classifier in this study provides the highest accuracy value at 97.76%.

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.

As we know internet of Things (IoT) is one of the fastest growing paradigm which is composed of Internet and different physical devices with different domains or the smart applications like home automation, business automation applications, health and environmental monitoring applications. The dependency on IOT devices is increasing day by day with our daily activities, which leads to most important challenge for security. Since having a better monitoring system for better security is a need. From more than two decades the concept or the frame work called IDS (Intrusion detection system) is playing important role for detecting the attacks in the network. Since the network attacks are not fixed in nature, a new type of attacks are happening on the network applications. There are many traditional IDS techniques are available but they are complex to apply. Since machine learning is one of the important area which is achieving good results in many applications. In this paper we study about the different machine learning techniques used till now and the methodology for the attack detection and the validation strategy. We will also discuss about the performance metrics.

Cyber security has recently received enormous attention in today’s security concerns, due to the popularity of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), the tremendous growth of computer networks, and the huge number of relevant applications. Thus, detecting various cyber-attacks or anomalies in a network and building an effective intrusion detection system that performs an essential role in today’s security is becoming more important. Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning techniques, can be used for building such a data-driven intelligent intrusion detection system. In order to achieve this goal, in this paper, we present an Intrusion Detection Tree (“IntruDTree”) machine-learning-based security model that first takes into account the ranking of security features according to their importance and then build a tree-based generalized intrusion detection model based on the selected important features. This model is not only effective in terms of prediction accuracy for unseen test cases but also minimizes the computational complexity of the model by reducing the feature dimensions. Finally, the effectiveness of our IntruDTree model was examined by conducting experiments on cybersecurity datasets and computing the precision, recall, fscore, accuracy, and ROC values to evaluate. We also compare the outcome results of IntruDTree model with several traditional popular machine learning methods such as the naive Bayes classifier, logistic regression, support vector machines, and k-nearest neighbor, to analyze the effectiveness of the resulting security model.

Increase in the number of network based transactions for both personal and professional use has made network security gain a significant and indispensable status. The possible attacks that an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has to tackle can be of an existing type or of an entirely new type. The challenge for researchers is to develop an intelligent IDS which can detect new attacks as efficiently as they detect known ones. Intrusion Detection Systems are rendered intelligent by employing machine learning techniques. In this paper we present a statistical machine learning approach to the IDS using the Support Vector Machine (SVM). Unike conventional SVMs this paper describes a milti model approach which makes use of an extra layer over the existing SVM. The network traffic is modeled into connections based on protocols at various network layers. These connection statistics are given as input to SVM which in turn plots each input vector. The new attacks are identified by plotting them with respect to the trained system. The experimental results demonstrate the lower execution time of the proposed system with high detection rate and low false positive number. The 1999 DARPA IDS dataset is used as the evaluation dataset for both training and testing. The proposed system, SVM NIDS is bench marked with SNORT (Roesch, M. 1999), an open source IDS.

Recent advancement in technologies such as Cloud, Internet of Things etc., leads to the increase usage of mobile computing. Present day mobile computing are too sophisticated and advancement are reaching great heights. Moreover, the present day mobile network suffers due to external and internal intrusions within and outside networks. The existing security systems to protect the mobile networks are incapable to detect the recent attacks. Further, the existing security system completely depends on the traditional signature and rule based approaches. Recent attacks have the property of not fluctuating its behaviour during attack. Hence, a robust Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is desirable. In order to address the above mentioned issue, this paper proposed a robust IDS using Machine Learning Techniques (MLT). The key of using MLT is to utilize the power of ensembles. The ensembles of classifier used in this paper are Random Forest (RF), KNN, Naïve Bayes (NB), etc. The proposed IDS is experimentally tested and validated using a secure test bed. The experimental results also confirms that the proposed IDS is robust enough to withstand and detect any form of intrusions and it is also noted that the proposed IDS outperforms the state of the art IDS with more than 95% accuracy.

Abstract The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), also known as Industry 4.0, has brought a revolution in the production and manufacturing sectors as it assists in the automation of production management and reduces the manual effort needed in auditing and managing the pieces of machinery. IoT-enabled industries, in general, use sensors, smart meters, and actuators. Most of the time, the data held by these devices is surpassingly sensitive and private. This information might be modified,

stolen, or even the devices may be subjected to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. As a consequence, the product quality may deteriorate or sensitive information may be leaked. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS), implemented in the network layer of IIoT, can detect attacks, thereby protecting the data and devices. Despite substantial advancements in attack detection in IIoT, existing works fail to detect certain attacks obfuscated from detectors resulting in a low detection performance. To address the aforementioned issue, we propose a Deep Learning-based Two Level Network Intrusion Detection System (DLTL-NIDS) for IIoT environment, emphasizing challenging attacks. The attacks that attain low accuracy or low precision in level-1 detection are marked as challenging attacks. Experimental results show that the proposed model, when tested against TON IoT, figures out the challenging attacks well and achieves an accuracy of 99.97%, precision of 95.62%, recall of 99.5%, and F1-score of 99.65%. The proposed DL-TLNIDS, when compared with state-of-art models, achieves a decrease in false alarm rate to 2.34% (flagging normal traffic as an attack) in IIoT.
