Abstract

In this paper, common types of adversarial attacks (DTA, FGSM, and BIM) are used to generate adversarial samples to test the vulnerability of IDS using the UNSW-NB15 dataset. Then, basic defense mechanisms are developed, including adversarial pattern detection and filtering. Experiments are conducted on Random Forest (RF) and Logistic Regression (LR) machine learning classifier.
