Abstract
Intrusion detection acts as an effective countermeasure to solve the network security problems. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the widely used intrusion detection techniques. However, the commonly used two-class SVM algorithms are facing difficulties of constructing the training dataset. That is because in many real application scenarios, normal connection records are easy to be obtained, but attack records are not so. We propose an anomaly detection model for network intrusions by using one-class SVM and scaling strategy. The one-class SVM adopts only normal network connection records as the training dataset. The scaling strategy guarantees that the variability of feature values can reflect their importance, thus improving the detection accuracy significantly. Experimental results on KDDCUP99 dataset show that compared to Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and C-SVM, our one-class SVM based model achieves higher detection rates and yields average better performance in terms of precision, recall and F-value.
