Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) to detect malicious attacks continues to meet challenges. NIDS are vulnerable to auto-generated port scan infiltration attempts and NIDS are often developed offline, resulting in a time lag to prevent the spread of infiltration to other parts of a network. To address these challenges, we use hypergraphs to capture evolving patterns of port scan attacks via the set of internet protocol addresses and destination ports, thereby deriving a set of hypergraph-based metrics to train a robust and resilient ensemble machine learning (ML) NIDS that effectively monitors and detects port scanning activities and adversarial intrusions while evolving intelligently in real-time. Through the combination of (1) intrusion examples, (2) NIDS update rules, (3) attack threshold choices to trigger NIDS retraining requests, and (4) production environment with no prior knowledge of the nature of network traffic 40 scenarios were auto-generated to evaluate the ML ensemble NIDS comprising three tree-based models. Results show that under the model settings of an Update-ALL-NIDS rule (namely, retrain and update all the three models upon the same NIDS retraining request) the proposed ML ensemble NIDS produced the best results with nearly 100 simulation, exhibiting robustness in the complex dynamics of the simulated cyber-security scenario.
