Every organization strives to ensure its network is secured from all
sorts of attack and is available to its intended users all the time. Network
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is one of the techniques used to detect and
classify abnormal network access. Therefore, IDS should always be up and up to
date with intrusion types and techniques. The most common network intrusion is
denial of service (DOS). This study seeks to find out the best machine learning
tools that can be used to detect a DOS attack. Using Knowledge Discovery and
Data Mining (Knowledge Discovery in Databases) KDD dataset, three machine
learning tools are evaluated to find out their performance. The findings show
that MLP performs better compared to SVM and KNN.
