Fuzzy zero day exploits detector system

Intrusion detection systems today are relatively capable of detecting network intrusions by attackers. Unfortunately, these systems operate on a network level and not on a system level. Meanwhile, antivirus software is typically capable of detecting known viruses but cannot easily stop zero day exploits. The paper will propose a fuzzy inference system to detect exploitation of a system using system metrics such as CPU, memory usage and network connections. This system is implemented using the MATLAB fuzzy logic toolbox. The design was tested and provided reasonable results.
