This chapter proposes a hybrid classifier technique for network Intrusion Detection System by implementing a method that combines Random Forest classification technique with K-Means and Gaussian Mixture clustering algorithms. Random-forest will build patterns of intrusion over a training data in misuse-detection, while anomaly-detection intrusions will be identiðed by the outlier-detection mechanism. The implementation and simulation of the proposed method for various metrics are carried out under varying threshold values. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been carried out for metrics such as precision, recall, accuracy rate, false alarm rate, and detection rate. The various existing algorithms are analyzed extensively. It is observed experimentally that the proposed method gives superior results compared to the existing simpler classifiers as well as existing hybrid classifier techniques. The proposed hybrid classifier technique outperforms other common existing classifiers with an accuracy of 99.84%, false alarm rate as 0.09% and the detection rate as 99.7%.
