AbstractDespite the rapid developments in data technology, intruders are among the most revealed threats to security. Network intrusion detection systems are now a typical constituent of network security structures. In this paper, we present a combined weighted K-means clustering algorithm with artificial neural network (WKMC+ANN)-based intrusion identification scheme. This paper comprises two modules: clustering and intrusion detection. The input dataset is gathered into clusters with the usage of WKMC in clustering module. In the intrusion detection module, the clustered information is trained with the utilization of ANN and its structure is stored. In the testing process, the data are tested by choosing the most suitable ANN classifier, which corresponds to the closest cluster to the test data, according to distance or similarity measures. For experimental evaluation, we used the benchmark database, and the results clearly demonstrated that the proposed technique outperformed the existing technique by having better accuracy.

In the present milieu of connected world, where security is the major concern, Intrusion Detection System is the prominent area of research to deal with various types of attacks in network. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) finds the dynamic and malicious traffic of network, in accordance to the aspect of network. Various form of IDS has been developed working on distinctive approaches. One popular approach is machine learning in which various algorithms like ANN, SVM etc. have been used. But the most prominent method used is ANN. The performance of the ANN can significantly be improved by combining it with different metaheuristic algorithms. In present work, GWO is used to optimize ANN. For this KDD-99 data-set is used to classify various types of attacks i.e. denial of service (DOS), normal and other form of attack. The present paper provides detailed analysis of the performance of Artificial Neural Network and optimized Artificial Neural Network with GA, PSO and GWO. The research shows that ANN with GWO outperform as compared to others (ANN, ANN with PSO and ANN with GA).
