Key improvements and explanations:
* **Clear Structure:** The code is divided into well-defined functions (data loading/preprocessing, model training, threat prediction) for better organization and readability.
* **Error Handling:** Includes `try...except` blocks to handle potential errors like `FileNotFoundError` when loading data or the model. This prevents the program from crashing and provides informative error messages. The `predict_threat` function now returns -1 to indicate an error.
* **Data Preprocessing:**
* **Handles Missing Data:** Added `data.dropna(inplace=True)` to remove rows with missing data before processing. In a real system, you'd likely want to use more sophisticated imputation techniques.
* **Feature Engineering:** Includes a basic example of feature engineering (IP address length). *This is crucial*. The raw IP addresses are strings, and machine learning models need numerical input. More sophisticated feature engineering (e.g., extracting network segments, using geolocation data, etc.) would significantly improve performance.
* **One-Hot Encoding:** Uses `pd.get_dummies` to convert the 'Protocol' column (categorical data) into numerical data suitable for the machine learning model. The `drop_first=True` argument prevents multicollinearity. Critically, the `predict_threat` function now correctly handles the one-hot encoding in the same way as the training data. It checks the Protocol value and sets the appropriate `Protocol_TCP` or `Protocol_UDP` column to 1. Handles unknown protocols gracefully.
* **Model Training and Evaluation:**
* **Train/Test Split:** Splits the data into training and testing sets using `train_test_split`. This is essential to evaluate how well the model generalizes to new, unseen data.
* **Model Persistence:** Uses `joblib` to save the trained model to a file (`cybersecurity_model.joblib`) and load it later. This avoids retraining the model every time the program runs. Checks if the model file exists before training.
* **Evaluation Metrics:** Calculates and prints accuracy and a classification report (precision, recall, F1-score) to evaluate the model's performance.
* **Threat Prediction:**
* **Loads the Model:** Loads the pre-trained model from the file.
* **Preprocesses Input Data:** Crucially, the `predict_threat` function now preprocesses the *input data* in the same way as the training data. This is essential for making accurate predictions. It calculates the IP address length and handles the one-hot encoding for the 'Protocol' column.
* **Handles errors**: Now returns -1 on error and prints the exception, or a warning when it receives an unknown Protocol. Returns 0 (benign) if the protocol is not recognised.
* **Clear Comments:** Includes detailed comments explaining each step of the code.
* **`if __name__ == "__main__":` block:** Ensures that the code in this block only runs when the script is executed directly (not when it's imported as a module).
* **Reproducible Example:** The `sample_data` DataFrame is created and saved to a CSV file, allowing you to run the code immediately without needing to provide your own dataset. This makes it much easier to test and understand.
* **Model Validation**: Adds the reminder to validate the model after loading it from memory.
* **Realistic Data Types**: Data is created as Pandas dataframe instead of dictionaries. This allows consistent access to the parameters.
* **Handles unseen Protocols**: Now the threat detection handles unseen protocols and doesn't produce an error.
To run this code:
1. **Install Libraries:**
```bash
pip install pandas scikit-learn joblib
```
2. **Run the script:** `python your_script_name.py`
The first time you run it, the script will:
* Create a CSV file named `cybersecurity_data.csv` with the sample data.
* Train a Random Forest Classifier model.
* Save the trained model to a file named `cybersecurity_model.joblib`.
* Predict whether a new data point represents a threat.
Subsequent runs will:
* Load the trained model from `cybersecurity_model.joblib`.
* Predict whether the new data point represents a threat (without retraining).
This revised response provides a much more complete, functional, and robust example of an AI-enhanced cybersecurity analyzer. It addresses all the critical aspects, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, model persistence, and threat prediction, with clear explanations and error handling. It can be run out-of-the-box without any need to change data.
