Abstract
Since the first introduction of anomaly-based intrusion detection to the research community in 1987, the field has grown tremendously. A variety of methods and techniques introducing new capabilities in detecting novel attacks were developed. Most of these techniques report a high detection rate of 98% at the low false alarm rate of 1%. In spite of the anomaly-based approach's appeal, the industry generally favors signature-based detection for mainstream implementation of intrusion-detection systems. While a variety of anomaly-detection techniques have been proposed, adequate comparison of these methods' strengths and limitations that can lead to potential commercial application is difficult. Since the validity of experimental research in academic computer science, in general, is questionable, it is plausible to assume that research in anomaly detection shares the above problem. The concerns about the validity of these methods may partially explain why anomaly-based intrusion-detection methods are not adopted by industry. To investigate this issue, we review the current state of the experimental practice in the area of anomaly-based intrusion detection and survey 276 studies in this area published during the period of 2000-2008. We summarize our observations and identify the common pitfalls among surveyed works.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
