Abstract

In many applications the capability of Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) on sequence modelling tasks has been confirmed to outperform classic approaches of recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Due to the lack of adequate network traffic flow analyses, anomaly-based approaches in intrusion detection systems are suffering from accurate deployment, analysis and evaluation. Accordingly, this study focused on network intrusion detection for DDoS threats using TCNs with network flow analyzer, CICFlowMeter-v4.0 to classify the network threats using behavior feature analyses. The experimental results reveal that that the prediction accuracy of intrusion detection goes up to 95.77% for model training with Nā€‰=ā€‰50,000 for sizing (N) of samples using the IDS dataset CIC-IDS-2017.
