Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this research we have studied the use of machine learning techniques in detecting network intrusions. Most research in the field has used the very outdated dataset (KDDCup99) which consists of a set handcrafted features. In our research we present models that work well on both the older dataset and on newer datasets such as ISCX2014 and ISCX2012. We also present methods for extracting features from these datasets. Another issue we found with most research in this field is that they do not study the effect of surges in regular network traffic and how that might affect the model. We put our model to test in 10x traffic and show its effectiveness under these conditions. We also study how semi-supervised models can be used in training NIDS models without directly showing them labeled data.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
