For the past 4 months I along with my team have been working on developing our capstone project. The project is focusing on developing a machine learning system to detect any intrusion attempts into a network by focusing on host based intrusion detection. In recent years, there have been significant security breaches such as the Yahoo hack and thus this project is particularly important. As part of a project we are working with a security company based in Toronto which acts as advisors. To build the actual system we are using a publicly available dataset. This post focuses on the design of the front end user interface. Certain user interviews were conducted along with my team but all conclusions made, and any design decisions made are my own and are being used for the purposes of SYDE 542.
