Abstract

The world has experienced a radical change due to the internet. As a matter of fact, it assists people in maintaining their social networks and links them to other members of their social networks when they require assistance. In effect sharing professional and personal data comes with several risks to individuals and organizations. Internet became a crucial element in our daily life, therefore, the security of our DATA could be threatened at any time. For this reason, IDS plays a major role in protecting internet users against any malicious network attacks. (IDS) Intrusion Detection System is a system that monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and issues alerts when such activity is discovered. In this paper, the focus will be on three different classifications; starting by machine learning, algorithms NB, SVM and KNN. These algorithms will be used to define the best accuracy by means of the USNW NB 15 DATASET in the first stage. Based on the result of the first stage, the second one is used to process our database with the most efficient algorithm. Two different datasets will be operated in our experiments to evaluate the model performance. NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 datasets are used to measure the performance of the proposed approach in order to guarantee its efficiency.
