Abstract

The pursuit of effective models with high detection accuracy has sparked great interest in anomaly detection of internet traffic. The issue still lies in creating a trustworthy and effective anomaly detection system that can handle massive data volumes and patterns that change in real-time. The detection techniques used, especially the feature selection methods and machine learning algorithms, are crucial to the design of such a system. The fundamental difficulty in feature selection is selecting a smaller subset of features that are more related to the class but are less numerous. To reduce the dimensionality of the dataset, this research offered a multi-feature selection technique (MFST) using four filter techniques: fast correlation-based filter, significance feature evaluator, chi-square, and gain ratio. Each technique's output vector is put via ranker and Borda voting filters. The feature with the highest number of votes and rank values will be selected from the dataset. The performance of the given MFST framework was the best when compared to the four strategies listed above functioning alone; three different classifiers were employed to test the accuracy. C4.5, nave Bayes, and support vector machine. The experiment outcomes employed ten datasets of different sizes with 10,000-300,000 instances. Only 8 out of 248 characteristics were chosen, with classifiers percentages averaging 65%, 93.8%, and 95.5%.
