Abstract

This paper presents a taxonomy of supervised machine learning techniques for intrusion detection systems (IDSs). Firstly, detailed information about related studies is provided. Secondly, a brief review of public data sets is provided, which are used in experiments and frequently cited in publications, including, IDEVAL, KDD CUP 1999, UNM Send-Mail Data, NSL-KDD, and CICIDS2017. Thirdly, IDSs based on supervised machine learning are presented. Finally, analysis and comparison of each IDS along with their pros and cons are provided.
