The importance of feature selection lays on removing noisy, irrelevant and redundant data which can cause overload to the system. IDS faces very large amount of data which consists of many different features. Hence feature selection is used in order to select significant features which reduce unnecessary/noisy data. In feature selection two search algorithms; Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) is s used to select significant features for the respective five categories of network traffics which are; Normal, Probe, Denial-of-Service (DoS), User-to-Root (U2R) and Remote-to-Local (R2L). Selecting significant features increases the performance of the IDS in terms of detection accuracy. This project aims to compare between two optimization heuristic algorithms PSO and DE for feature selection in IDS. In this project Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used in this study as a classifier. The tool used in this project is Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA) and visual programming environment. Intrusion detection dataset (KDD Cup 1999) is the data used in this work. The experimental results are described in the end of this work, which shows that PSO is the best for detecting Normal, Probe and DoS 2014 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48314/ masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Computing Faculty of Computing
