An intrusion detection system (IDS) works as an alarm mechanism for computer systems. It detects any malicious activity that happened to the computer system and it alerts an alarm message to notify the user there is malicious activity. There are IDS that are able to take action when malicious or anomalous networks are detected, which include suspending the traffic sent from suspicious IP addresses. The problem statement for this project is to find out the most accurate machine learning algorithm and the types of IDS with different placement strategies. When it comes to the deployment of a wireless network, IDS is not as easy a task as deploying a traditional network IDS. There are many unexpected complexities of the problem of reliable intrusion detection in a wireless network. The motivation of this research is to find the most suitable classification techniques that are able to increase the accuracy of an IDS. Machine learning is useful for the upcoming trend; it provides better accuracy in the detection of malicious traffic.
