Abstract

The increasing growth of wireless networking and new mobile computing devices has caused boundaries between trusted and malicious users to be blurred. The shift in security priorities from the network perimeter to information protection and user resources security is an open area for research which is concerned with the protection of user information’s confidentiality, integrity and availability. Intrusion detection systems are programs or software applications embedded in sophisticated devices to monitor the activities on networks or systems for security, policy or protocol violation or malicious activities detection. In this work, an intrusion detection model was proposed using C4.5 algorithm which was implemented with WEKA tool and RAPID MINER. The model showed good performance when trained and tested with validation techniques. Implementation of the proposed model was conducted on the Network Security Laboratory Knowledge Discovery in Databases (NSL-KDD) dataset, an improved version of KDD 99 dataset, which showed that the proposed model approach has an average detection rate of 99.62% and reduced false alarm rate of 0.38%.
