PROBLEM STATEMENT
Traditional cybersecurity systems rely heavily on predefined rules and
signatures, making them ineffective against new and evolving cyber attacks.
These systems often fail to detect zero-day threats and suffer from high false
positive rates. With the growing complexity of network traffic and cyber
threats, there is a need for an adaptive and intelligent solution. Machine
learning offers the ability to analyze large volumes of data and detect
anomalies in real time. This project aims to develop a system that utilizes
machine learning techniques for accurate and scalable cyber attack detection.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Traditional cybersecurity systems rely on fixed rules and signatures,
making them ineffective against new and evolving cyber threats.
These methods struggle to detect zero-day attacks and suffer from
high false positives.
With growing network complexity, manual detection becomes
inefficient and error-prone.
Attackers now use sophisticated methods that traditional systems fail
to catch in real-time.
Hence, there is a strong need for an intelligent and adaptive
detection system.
•The proposed system uses machine learning models to detect cyber attacks accurately and
efficiently.
•It collects data from various sources like network traffic and logs, and preprocesses it for
analysis.
•Models like Random Forest, SVM, and GANs are used for classifying known and unknown
threats.
•Unsupervised learning helps detect anomalies and previously unseen attack patterns.
•This intelligent, layered approach improves detection rates, lowers false positives, and
adapts to evolving threats.
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
APPROACH
Modular Design:
The system is divided into functional modules — Data Collection,
Preprocessing, Feature Engineering, Model Training, Detection, and
Evaluation — for scalability and easy debugging.
Data-Driven Modeling:
Leverages labeled datasets (e.g., UNSW-NB15) for training, ensuring
real-world relevance and improved model accuracy.
Machine Learning Integration:
Combines supervised (Random Forest, SVM) and deep learning
models (GAN) to detect both known and unknown attacks.
Iterative Development:
Follows a cyclical approach — develop ➝ test ➝ evaluate ➝ improve
— to continuously refine the system.
User Interface Integration:
A simple Python + Tkinter-based GUI allows users to upload data, run
detection, and visualize results (confusion matrix, accuracy graphs).
ALGORITHM & DEPLOYMENT
Algorithm:
•Random Forest (Supervised Learning):
•An ensemble of decision trees used for classifying network behavior as normal or
malicious.
•Handles large datasets efficiently and reduces overfitting.
•Support Vector Machine (SVM):
•A powerful classifier that finds the optimal hyperplane to separate attack vs. normal
data.
•Effective for high-dimensional data.
•GAN (Generative Adversarial Network – Deep Learning):
•Used for detecting complex, previously unseen cyber threats.
•The generator simulates data, and the discriminator identifies real vs. attack
patterns.
•Provides high accuracy and adaptability in detection.
RESULT
Accuracy Achieved:
The GAN-based model achieved up to 98% accuracy in classifying network
traffic.
Evaluation Metrics:
Precision: ~97%
Recall: ~98%
F1-Score: ~97.5%
Indicates high reliability in detecting both known and unknown attacks.
Confusion Matrix Output:
High true positive rate with minimal false positives.
Strong diagonal in matrix proves excellent classification.
Visual Results:
Graphs show all metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score) are near 100%,
confirming robust performance.
Real-time Prediction:
GUI tested with test data shows correct predictions like “Brute Force,” “DoS,” and
“Normal” traffic.

CONCLUSION
The proposed system successfully detects cyber attacks using advanced machine learning
techniques.
It outperforms traditional methods by identifying both known and unknown threats in real time.
The use of GAN, SVM, and Random Forest ensures high accuracy and reduced false positives.
The modular, data-driven approach makes the system scalable and adaptable to evolving
threats.
Overall, this solution offers a robust and intelligent defense mechanism for modern
cybersecurity.
FUTURE SCOPE
The system can be extended to detect advanced threats like APTs and ransomware in
real-time.
Integration with cloud platforms and IoT devices will expand its detection capabilities.
Incorporating Reinforcement Learning could further improve adaptive threat response.
Automated threat mitigation and alerting can be added for faster incident handling.
Continuous model training with live data will keep the system updated against
evolving cyber attacks.
