Abstract

Intrusions pose a serious securing risk in a network environment. Network intrusion detection system aims to identify attacks or malicious activity in a network with a high detection rate while maintaining a low false alarm rate. Anomaly detection systems (ADS) monitor the behaviour of a system and flag significant deviations from the normal activity as anomalies. In this paper, we propose an anomaly detection method using “K-Means + C4.5”, a method to cascade k-Means clustering and the C4.5 decision tree methods for classifying anomalous and normal activities in a computer network. The k-Means clustering method is first used to partition the training instances into k clusters using Euclidean distance similarity. On each cluster, representing a density region of normal or anomaly instances, we build decision trees using C4.5 decision tree algorithm. The decision tree on each cluster refines the decision boundaries by learning the subgroups within the cluster. To obtain a final conclusion we exploit the results derived from the decision tree on each cluster.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
