Intrusion Detection System Using Machine Learning

  • Unique Paper ID: 195307
  • PageNo: 123-125
  • Abstract:
  • With the rapid growth of networked systems and internet-based services, cyber threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), brute force attacks, and data exfiltration have become increasingly sophisticated. Traditional signature-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are ineffective against unknown and zero-day attacks. This paper presents a real-time Intrusion Detection System using Machine Learning trained on the CICIDS2017 dataset. The proposed system captures live network traffic using Scapy, extracts flow-based statistical features, and classifies traffic using a Random Forest classifier. The system provides real-time attack detection with confidence scores and supports offline training and evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate high detection accuracy and efficient real-time performance.
