Flow-Based Intrusion Detection Systems: A Survey

After developing IoT devices, information security takes a critical role than any other period. Most IoT devices use weak passwords, insecure interface, poor management, and lack of patches and updates mechanism. To that end, researchers have used different techniques for building a system that can detect intrusions and ensure secured systems. This paper explored the most common types of attacks that threaten networks. Besides, it provides an overview of the existing datasets that researchers can use as benchmark datasets for evaluating their proposed approaches. Furthermore, we review the most significant works during the last ten years that have been introduced for building flow-based intrusion detection systems.
