Several successful defense mechanisms have been recently proposed for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), for example in the context of autonomous driving. We show that visualization approaches can aid in identifying a backdoor independent of the used classifier. Surprisingly, we find that common defense mechanisms fail utterly to remove backdoors in DL for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). Finally, we devise pruning-based approaches to remove backdoors for Decision Trees (DTs) and Random Forests (RFs) and demonstrate their effectiveness for two different network security datasets.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.07866v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.07866v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"walling-up-backdoors-in-intrusion-detection","repo_url":"https://github.com/CN-TU/ids-backdoor","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"autonomous-driving","task_name":"Autonomous Driving"},{"task_slug":"intrusion-detection","task_name":"Intrusion Detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
