Magán-Carrion, Roberto Urda Muñoz, Daniel Díaz-Cano, Ignacio Dorronsoro, Bernabé Network intrusion detection Machine learning Attack detection Communications networks Methodology NIDS Presently, we are living in a hyper-connected world where millions of heterogeneous devices are continuously sharing information in different application contexts for wellness, improving communications, digital businesses, etc. However, the bigger the number of devices and connections are, the higher the risk of security threats in this scenario. To counteract against malicious behaviours and preserve essential security services, Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) are the most widely used defence line in communications networks. Nevertheless, there is no standard methodology to evaluate and fairly compare NIDSs. Most of the proposals elude mentioning crucial steps regarding NIDSs validation that make their comparison hard or even impossible. This work firstly includes a comprehensive study of recent NIDSs based on machine learning approaches, concluding that almost all of them do not accomplish with what authors of this paper consider mandatory steps for a reliable comparison and evaluation of NIDSs. Secondly, a structured methodology is proposed and assessed on the UGR’16 dataset to test its suitability for addressing network attack detection problems. The guideline and steps recommended will definitively help the research community to fairly assess NIDSs, although the definitive framework is not a trivial task and, therefore, some extra effort should still be made to improve its understandability and usability further. 2023-01-13 2023-01-13 2020-03 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7240 10.3390/app10051775 2076-3417 eng Applied sciences. 2020, V. 10, n. 5, e1775 https://doi.org/10.3390/app10051775 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/AEI/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020/RTI2018-100754-B-I00/ES/SISTEMAS INTELIGENTES DE TRANSPORTE URBANO SOSTENIBLE/ info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/AEI/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020/RTI2018-098160-B-I00/ES/DEEP LEARNING IN AIR POLLUTION FORECASTING http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Atribución 4.0 Internacional MDPI
