Anomalous traffic detection on internet is a major issue of security as per the growth of smart devices and this technology. Several attacks are affecting the systems and deteriorate its computing performance. Intrusion detection system is one of the techniques, which helps to determine the system security, by alarming when intrusion is detected. In this paper performance of NSL-KDD dataset is evaluated using ANN. The result obtained for both binary class as well as five class classification (type of attack). Results are analyzed based on various performance measures and better accuracy was found. The detection rate obtained is 81.2% and 79.9% for intrusion detection and attack type classification task respectively for NSL-KDD dataset. The performance of the proposed scheme has been compared with existing scheme and higher detection rate is achieved in both binary class as well as five class classification problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
