Abstract

During the last decade, anomaly detection has attracted the attention of many researchers to overcome the weakness of signature-based IDSs in detecting novel attacks. However,having a relatively high false alarm rate, anomaly detection has not been wildly used in real networks. In this paper, we have proposed a novel anomaly detection scheme using the correlation information contained in groups of network traffic samples. Our experimental results show promising detection rates while maintaining false positives at very low rates.
