The rapid development of computer networks and mostly of the Internet has created many stability and security problems such as intrusions on computer and network systems. Further the dependency of companies and government agencies is increasing on their computer networks and the significance of protecting these systems from attacks is serious because a single intrusion can cause a heavy loss or the consistency of network becomes insecure. During recent years number of intrusions has dramatically increased. Therefore it is very important to prevent such intrusions. The hindrance of such intrusions is entirely dependent on their detection that is a key part of any security tool such as Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Adaptive Security Alliance (ASA), checkpoints and firewalls. Hence accurate detection of network attack is imperative. A variety of intrusion detection approaches are available but the main problem is their performance, which can be enhanced by increasing the detection rates and reducing false positives.
