In this work, homogeneous ensemble techniques, namely bagging and boosting were employed for intrusion detection to determine the intrusive activities in network by monitoring the network traffic. Simultaneously, model diversity was enhanced as numerous algorithms were taken into account, thereby leading to an increase in the detection rate Several classifiers, i.e., SVM, KNN, RF, ETC and MLP) were used in case of bagging approach. Likewise, tree-based classifiers have been employed for boosting. The proposed model was tested on NSL-KDD dataset that was initially subjected to preprocessing. Accordingly, ten most significant features were identified using decision tree and recursive feature elimination method. Furthermore, the dataset was divided into five subsets, each one them being subjected to training, and the final results were obtained based on majority voting. Experimental results proved that the model was effective for detecting intrusive activities. Bagged ETC and boosted RF outperformed all the other classifiers with an accuracy of 99.123% and 99.309%, respectively.

In order to improve the detection rate and speed of intrusion detection system, this paper proposes a feature selection algorithm. The algorithm uses information gain to rank the features in descending order, and then uses a multi-objective genetic algorithm to gradually search the ranking features to find the optimal feature combination. We classified the Kddcup98 dataset into five classes, DOS, PROBE, R2L, and U2R, and conducted numerous experiments on each class. Experimental results show that for each class of attack, the proposed algorithm can not only speed up the feature selection, but also significantly improve the detection rate of the algorithm.

The system that monitors the events occurring in a computer system or a network and analyzes the events for sign of intrusions is known as intrusion detection system. The performance of the intrusion detection system can be improved by combing anomaly and misuse analysis. This chapter proposes an ensemble multi-agent-based intrusion detection model. The proposed model combines anomaly, misuse, and host-based detection analysis. The agents in the proposed model use rules to check for intrusions, and adopt machine learning algorithms to recognize unknown actions, to update or create new rules automatically. Each agent in the proposed model encapsulates a specific classification technique, and gives its belief about any packet event in the network. These agents collaborate to determine the decision about any event, have the ability to generalize, and to detect novel attacks. Empirical results indicate that the proposed model is efficient, and outperforms other intrusion detection models.

The network intrusion detection system (NIDS) aims to identify virulent action in a network. It aims to do that through investigating the traffic network behavior. The approaches of data mining and machine learning (ML) are extensively used in the NIDS to discover anomalies. Regarding feature selection, it plays a significant role in improving the performance of NIDSs. That is because anomaly detection employs a great number of features that require much time. Therefore, the feature selection approach affects the time needed to investigate the traffic behavior and improve the accuracy level. The researcher of the present study aimed to propose a feature selection model for NIDSs. This model is based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO), grey wolf optimizer (GWO), firefly optimization (FFA) and genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed model aims at improving the performance of NIDSs. The proposed model deploys wrapper-based methods with the GA, PSO, GWO and FFA algorithms for selecting features using Anaconda Python Open Source, and deploys filtering-based methods for the mutual information (MI) of the GA, PSO, GWO and FFA algorithms that produced 13 sets of rules. The features derived from the proposed model are evaluated based on the support vector machine (SVM) and J48 ML classifiers and the UNSW-NB15 dataset. Based on the experiment, Rule 13 (R13) reduces the features into 30 features. Rule 12 (R12) reduces the features into 13 features. Rule 13 and Rule 12 offer the best results in terms of F-measure, accuracy and sensitivity. The genetic algorithm (GA) shows good results in terms of True Positive Rate (TPR) and False Negative Rate (FNR). As for Rules 11, 9 and 8, they show good results in terms of False Positive Rate (FPR), while PSO shows good results in terms of precision and True Negative Rate (TNR). It was found that the intrusion detection system with fewer features will increase accuracy. The proposed feature selection model for NIDS is rule-based pattern recognition to discover computer network attack which is in the scope of Symmetry journal.

In the era of Internet and with increasing number of people as its end users, a large number of attack categories are introduced daily. Hence, effective detection of various attacks with the help of Intrusion Detection Systems is an emerging trend in research these days. Existing studies show effectiveness of machine learning approaches in handling Intrusion Detection Systems. In this work, we aim to enhance detection rate of Intrusion Detection System by using machine learning technique. We propose a novel classifier ensemble based IDS that is constructed using hybrid approach which combines data level and feature level approach. Classifier ensembles combine the opinions of different experts and improve the intrusion detection rate. Experimental results show the improved detection rates of our system compared to reference technique.

To identify the malicious nodes timely in wireless sensor networks(WSNs), a cooperation intrusion detection scheme based on weighted k Nearest Neighbour(kNN) is proposed. Given a few types of sensor nodes, the test model extracts the properties of sensor nodes related with the known types of malicious nodes, and establishes sample spaces of all sensor nodes which participate in network activities. According to the known node’s attributes sampled, the unknown type sensor nodes are classified based on weighted kNN. Considering of energy consumption, an intrusion detection system selection algorithm is joined in the sink node. Simulation results show that the scheme has a lower false detection rate and a higher detection rate at the same time, and it can preserve energy of detection nodes compared with an existing intrusion detection scheme.

Now-a-days with growing applications over internet increases the security issues over network. Many security applications are designed to cope with such security concerns but still it required more attention to improve speed as well accuracy. With advancement of technologies there is also evolution of new threats or attacks in network. So, it is required to design such detection system that can handle new threats in network. One of the network security tools is intrusion detection system which is used to detect malicious data packets. Machine learning tool is also used to improve efficiency of network-based intrusion detection system.
