Following algorithms were studied individually and an ensemble of RF, SVM and MLP was used to develop a cost-effective and accurate model for Intrusion Detection.

• Random Forest
• Decision Tree
• kNN
• SVM
• MLP
• DNN
• CNN (4 Conv1D layers)
• LSTM (3 LSTM layers)
• RNN (3 RNN layers)

Evaluation Methods

• Accuracy
• Precision
• Recall
• F1-Score

Machine Specifications used for experimentation

• HP 840 G2 laptop
• Intel core i5 processor (5th generation)
• 64 bit Windows 10 operating system
• 16 GB RAM

Note

These codes are obtained by downloading .py files from original jupyter notebooks. While reproducing the results make sure you run these codes in a separate Jupyter Notebook.

Update

Codes for deep learning algorithms will be uploaded soon.
