Core Overview: This project proposes a hybrid AI-powered NIDS integrating signature detection and anomaly detection, supporting real-time traffic analysis, machine learning-based anomaly identification, and a desktop monitoring panel. It aims to balance known threat detection and unknown attack discovery, providing a practical security solution for small and medium-sized network environments.

## Project Background and Cybersecurity Challenges

In the digital age, network threats are complex and ever-changing. Traditional NIDS face a dilemma: signature detection accurately identifies known attacks but is powerless against unknown ones; anomaly detection can discover new attacks but is prone to false positives. How to balance the two to build a high-precision system is the core challenge, and this hybrid NIDS is an innovative solution to this problem.

## System Architecture and Hybrid Detection Engine

The core innovation is the hybrid detection engine:
1. **Signature Detection Module**: Based on a predefined rule base, it identifies known attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, and port scanning;
2. **Anomaly Detection Module**: Learns normal traffic patterns through machine learning to identify unknown threats like zero-day attacks;
3. **Fusion Decision Mechanism**: Intelligently combines the results of the two modules to maintain a high detection rate while reducing the false positive rate.

## Technical Implementation and System Components

Tech Stack: Python as the core, integrating Scapy (packet capture and analysis), Scikit-learn (machine learning), SQLite (storage), PyQt/Tkinter (desktop interface).
System Module Architecture:

└── run.py (Main entry point)

## Real-Time Monitoring and Alert Logs

Real-Time Monitoring: The desktop panel displays traffic capture status, threat event list, attack statistical distribution, and system performance metrics.
Alerts and Logs: When suspicious activity is detected, an alert is generated immediately and recorded in the SQLite database, including information such as timestamp, attack type, source/destination IP, and severity, facilitating analysis and forensics.

## Application Scenarios and Deployment Advantages

Applicable Scenarios:
1. University lab network monitoring;
2. Small and medium-sized enterprise cybersecurity;
3. Cybersecurity teaching demonstration.
Deployment Advantages:
- Modular architecture, easy to extend and maintain;
- Lightweight design, low hardware requirements;
- Open-source and free, reducing costs;
- Customizable rules and algorithms.

## Future Plans and Project Summary

Future Plans:
Short-term: Web-based monitoring panel, introduction of deep learning models, cloud deployment support;
Long-term: Distributed IDS architecture, threat intelligence integration, automated response.
Summary: This project provides a practical and scalable security solution for small and medium-sized networks, balancing detection capability and false positive control. It is suitable for learners, IT administrators, and developers for research and reference.
