description Network attack traffic detection plays a crucial role in protecting network operations and services. To accurately detect malicious traffic on the internet, this paper designs a hybrid algorithm UMAP-RF for both binary and multiclassification network attack detection tasks. First, the network traffic data are dimensioned down with UMAP algorithm. The random forest algorithm is improved based on parameter optimization, and the improved random forest algorithm is used to classify the network traffic data, distinguishing normal data from abnormal data and classifying nine different types of network attacks from the abnormal data. Experimental results on the UNSW-NB15 dataset, which are significant improvements compared to traditional machine-learning methods, show that the UMAP-RF hybrid model can perform network attack traffic detection effectively, with accuracy and recall rates of 92.6% and 91%, respectively.
