An Unsupervised Network Intrusion Detection Based on Anomaly Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, an novel unsupervised intrusion detection method is presented, in which the anomalies was specified by choosing a reference measure mu which determines a density and a level value rho. In order to reveal the relationship between the distribution of connection feature data sets and the reference measure mu, we proposed a new method to design SVM classifier based on RBF core, and apply this algorithm to estimate density level set for the data set, through which the anomaly network connections have been detected. Experimental results on the real network data set showed that the new method is competitive with others in that the false alarm rate is kept low without many missed detections.
