🛡️ AI-Based Network Intrusion Detection System (Student Project)
This project demonstrates how to use Machine Learning (Random Forest) and Generative AI (Grok) to detect and explain network attacks (specifically DDoS).
🚀 How to Use
- Enter API Key: Paste your Grok API key in the sidebar (optional, for AI explanations).
- Train Model: Click the "Train AI Model" button. The system loads the
Friday-WorkingHours... dataset automatically.
- Simulate: Click "Simulate Random Packet" to pick a real network packet from the test set.
- Analyze: See if the model flags it as BENIGN or DDoS, and ask Grok to explain why.
