Project Overview

Conceived and trained an intrusion detection system (NIDS) utilizing supervised machine learning algorithms to identify hostile attack signatures and anomalous packet distributions.

Processed high-dimensional network flow datasets, performing feature extraction, packet header statistical modeling, and dimensionality reduction.

Trained ensemble classifiers (Random Forest, XGBoost) and deep neural architectures, benchmarked against precision, recall, and false-positive minimization.

Validated real-time detection latencies against live simulated traffic, demonstrating rapid alert dispatching for DDoS, port scanning, and brute-force intrusion vectors.

Measurable Outcomes & Key Takeaways

  • Attained high accuracy and sub-second classification latency across multi-gigabit traffic benchmarks.
  • Demonstrated significant false-positive reduction compared to traditional static threshold rule engines.
  • Documented complete findings and model evaluation curves for academic Master's thesis presentation.
