Creates and trains an ANN from a dataset

input name of the CSV dataset file you wish to useIf you want to load a previous model, input 'y' and then input the name of the modelElse just hit EnterDepending on model topology and the size of the dataset, the process may take a whileOnce finished, input 'y' to see the Weights and intercepts of the model after traininginput 'y' again to save the model (Must end in '.sav')

Allows for viewing the data within a dataset

input name of CSV Dataset you wish to viewinput 'a' to see All, 'n' to see just the numerical data, 'c' to see just categorical data

Uses a trained ANN to detect DDoS Attacks

From the list, input the name of the inetrface you wish to detect DDoS attacks oninput the filename of a trained modelThis will continuously run until either stopped or an attack is detected

Shows a visual representation of what an ANN model looks like (Can be changed in code, currently displays an input layer of 8, 2 hidden layers of 100 and an output layer of 1.
