Abstract: With the development of information technology, the number and methods of cyber attacks continue to increase, making network security issues increasingly important. Intrusion detection has become a vital means of dealing with cyber threats. Current intrusion detection methods predominantly rely on machine learning. However, machine learning suffers from limitations in detection capability and the requirement for extensive feature engineering. Additionally, current intrusion detection datasets face the challenge of data imbalance. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel solution leveraging Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to balance the dataset and introduces an attention mechanism into the generator to efficiently extract key feature information, the mechanism can effectively sort the key information of the data and quickly capture important features. Subsequently, a combination of 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (1DCNN) and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units (BiGRU) is employed to construct a classification model capable of extracting both spatial and temporal features. Furthermore, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is utilized to optimize the input weights and hidden biases of the model, so as to further improve the accuracy and robustness of the model. Finally, the model is trained and implemented for network intrusion detection. To demonstrate the applicability of the model, experiments were conducted using the NSL-KDD dataset and the UNSW-NB15 dataset. The final results showed that the proposed model outperformed other models, achieving accuracies of 99.15% and 97.33% on the respective datasets. This indicates that the model improves the efficiency of network intrusion detection and better ensures the effectiveness of network security.
