  • Abstract:
  • Intrusion detection system (IDS) is one more arrow in the bow of Computer network Security. This can be part of the firewall of can be independently installed. The work of IDS is basically to worn the system against network activity that are not looking normal in the current setting. This can be done by two ways. One is to maintain database of security threat patterns, but as attacks are increasing day by day, it would be very difficult to maintain complete database of all attack types. Second is to employ some machine learning technique to classify network intrusion using their characteristic and deviation from normal traffic. Second approach is called anomaly detection. The major problem with anomaly based intrusion detection is the false alarm. False alarm is a indication of threat by security system, for normal network activity. False alarm badly affects system performance by misdirecting and consuming resources in analyzing normal connection as threats. Genetic algorithm is one the most promising evolutionary algorithm for optimization for one or more than one objective at a same time. The research in this thesis is devoted to optimize false alarm on DoS attack by employing genetic algorithm.
