In the realm of computer network security, the identification and mitigation of security threats are of utmost importance. In network security, IDS are vital for detecting and preventing unauthorized access or malicious activities in a network. However, with the persistent and ever-expanding complexity and diversity exhibited by modern cyber-attacks, there is a pressing need to adopt increasingly sophisticated approaches. This research paper undertakes an in-depth investigation into the utilization of machine learning classifiers to augment the efficacy of IDS, specifically focusing on harnessing the potential of the CIC IDS 2017 dataset. This study aims to extensively evaluate two widely recognized machine learning classifiers, namely K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Decision Trees. These classifiers are assessed based on their inherent capability to successfully detect intrusions within the extensive expanse of the CIC IDS 2017 dataset. This voluminous dataset encompasses a broad spectrum of meticulously collected network traffic data, encompassing both regular and malicious activities, thereby reflecting the diverse landscape of real-world cyber threats.
The Decision Tree classifier emerges as the leader with an impressive accuracy rate of 96.72%, followed closely by the KNN classifier at 95.94%. These findings underscore the immense potential of machine learning algorithms in discerning network intrusions with exceptional precision. These outcomes significantly contribute to advancing intrusion detection systems, paving the way for intelligent solutions that proactively counter evolving cyber threats.
