ABSTRACT
Cyber-attack, via cyberspace, targeting an enterprise's use of cyberspace for the purpose of disrupting, disabling, destroying, or maliciously controlling a computing environment/infrastructure; or destroying the integrity of the data or stealing controlled information. The state of the cyberspace portends uncertainty for the future Internet and its accelerated number of users. New paradigms add more concerns with big data collected through device sensors divulging large amounts of information, which can be used for targeted attacks. Though a plethora of extant approaches, models and algorithms have provided the basis for cyber-attack predictions, there is the need to consider new models and algorithms, which are based on data representations other than task-specific techniques. However, its non-linear information processing architecture can be adapted towards learning the different data representations of network traffic to classify type of network attack. In this paper, we model cyber-attack prediction as a classification problem, Networking sectors have to predict the type of Network attack from given dataset using machine learning techniques. The analysis of dataset by supervised machine learning technique(SMLT) to capture several information’s like, variable identification, uni-variate analysis, bi-variate and multi-variate analysis, missing value treatments etc. A comparative study between machine learning algorithms had been carried out in order to determine which algorithm is the most accurate in predicting the type cyber Attacks. We classify four types of attacks are DOS Attack, R2L Attack, U2R Attack, Probe attack. The results show that the effectiveness of the proposed machine learning algorithm technique can be compared with best accuracy with entropy calculation, precision, Recall, F1 Score, Sensitivity, Specificity and Entropy.
