IDS with XGBoost Classifier

Developed an intrusion detection system using the KDD Cup 1999 dataset. Preprocessed data with missing

value handling, numeric conversion, and one-hot encoding. Configured and trained an XGBoost model,

evaluated performance with accuracy and classification reports, and saved the model for future use. Extended

functionality with Scapy for live packet sniffing, synthetic data generation, and real-time intrusion detection

based on extracted packet features.
