Abstract: The existing intrusion detection methods based on neural network have not taken data classification information into consideration yet, thus, the timing information of network traffic data are not used effectively. In this paper, we propose network intrusion detection models based on gated recurrent unit (GRU) in combination with embedding technique of categorical information. Simulation experiments on the models are carried out with UNSW-NB15, which is a comprehensive network traffic dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed models not only improve the detection rate of intrusion attacks, but also provide a new way for intrusion detection in case of processing large-scale data.

Key words: network intrusion detection, machine learning, gate recurrent unit (GRU), feature embedding
