Design and Implementation of Intrusion Detection System Using Convolutional Neural Network for DoS Detection

Nowadays, network is one of the essential parts of life, and lots of primary activities are performed by using the network. Also, network security plays an important role in the administrator and monitors the operation of the system. The intrusion detection system (IDS) is a crucial module to detect and defend against the malicious traffics before the system is affected. This system can extract the information from the network system and quickly indicate the reaction which provides real-time protection for the protected system. However, detecting malicious traffics is very complicating because of their large quantity and variants. Also, the accuracy of detection and execution time are the challenges of some detection methods. In this paper, we propose an IDS platform based on convolutional neural network (CNN) called IDS-CNN to detect DoS attack. Experimental results show that our CNN based DoS detection obtains high accuracy at most 99.87%. Moreover, comparisons with other machine learning techniques including KNN, SVM, and Naive Bayes demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms traditional ones.
