This document summarizes a study that empirically compares the performance of five machine learning algorithms (J48, BayesNet, OneR, NB, and ZeroR) for intrusion detection on the KDD Cup 99 dataset. The study evaluates the algorithms based on 10 performance criteria and finds that the J48 decision tree algorithm performs best for intrusion detection. It also compares the performance of intrusion detection classifiers using seven feature reduction techniques.
