Abstract: In recent years, the rapid expansion of digital technologies, cloud computing, and internet-based services has significantly increased the vulnerability of network systems to a wide range of cyber threats. Modern organizations rely heavily on interconnected systems for data storage, communication, and business operations, making them attractive targets for cyber attackers. As a result, the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), phishing, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) have increased dramatically. Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), which primarily rely on predefined signatures or static rule-based mechanisms, are no longer sufficient to handle these evolving threats. While signature-based systems are effective in detecting known attack patterns, they fail to identify unknown or zero-day attacks. Similarly, anomaly-based systems often suffer from high false positive rates, leading to unnecessary alerts and reduced system reliability. These limitations highlight the need for more intelligent and adaptive security solutions. To address these challenges, this research proposes a Machine Learning-based Network Intrusion Detection and Forensic Logging System (NIDS) that enhances the detection and classification of cyber threats in real time. The proposed system leverages multiple machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Naive Bayes, and Logistic Regression, to analyze network traffic and accurately classify it as normal or malicious. By utilizing supervised learning techniques, the system is capable of learning complex patterns and detecting previously unseen attacks. The system is trained and evaluated using the NSL-KDD dataset, which is widely recognized as a benchmark dataset in intrusion detection research. The dataset includes various types of network traffic along with labeled attack categories such as DoS, Probe, Remote-to-Local (R2L), and User-to-Root (U2R). To ensure effective model performance, data preprocessing techniques such as feature encoding, normalization, and noise removal are applied. The performance of the models is evaluated using standard metrics including accuracy, precision, recall.
