Raghuveer %J International Journal of Network Security & Its Applications %D 2013 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) form a key part of system defence, where it identifies abnormalactivities happening in a computer system. In recent years different soft computing based techniques havebeen proposed for the development of IDS. On the other hand, intrusion detection is not yet a perfecttechnology. This has provided an opportunity for data mining to make quite a lot of importantcontributions in the field of intrusion detection. In this paper we have proposed a new hybrid techniqueby utilizing data mining techniques such as fuzzy C means clustering, Fuzzy neural network / Neurofuzzyand radial basis function(RBF) SVM for fortification of the intrusion detection system. Theproposed technique has five major steps in which, first step is to perform the relevance analysis, and theninput data is clustered using Fuzzy C-means clustering. After that, neuro-fuzzy is trained, such that eachof the data point is trained with the corresponding neuro-fuzzy classifier associated with the cluster.Subsequently, a vector for SVM classification is formed and in the last step, classification using RBFSVMis performed to detect intrusion has happened or not. Data set used is the KDD cup 1999 datasetand we have used precision, recall, F-measure and accuracy as the evaluation metrics parameters. Ourtechnique could achieve better accuracy for all types of intrusions. The results of proposed technique arecompared with the other existing techniques. These comparisons proved the effectiveness of ourtechnique. %K Intrusion Detection System %K Fuzzy C-Means Clustering %K fuzzy neural network %K Support Vector Machine %U http://airccse.org/journal/nsa/0113nsa06.pdf
