A Survey: Comparative Analysis of Classifier Algorithms for DOS Attack Detection

In today's interconnected world, one of pervasive issue is how to protect system from intrusion based security attacks. It is an important issue to detect the intrusion attacks for the security of network communication.Denial of Service (DoS) attacks is evolving continuously. These attacks make network resources unavailable for legitimate users which results in massive loss of data, resources and money.Significance of Intrusion detection system (IDS) in computer network security well proven. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) have become an efficient defense tool against network attacks since they allow network administrator to detect policy violations. Mining approach can play very important role in developing intrusion detection system. Classification is identified as an important technique of data mining. This paper evaluates performance of well known classification algorithms for attack classification. The key ideas are to use data mining techniques efficiently for intrusion attack classification. To implement and measure the performance of our system we used the KDD99 benchmark dataset and obtained reasonable detection rate.
