The KDD data set is a well known benchmark in the research of Intrusion Detection techniques. A lot of work is going on for the improvement of intrusion detection strategies while the research on the data used for training and testing the detection model is equally of prime concern because better data quality can improve offline intrusion detection. This paper presents the analysis of KDD data set with respect to four classes which are Basic, Content, Traffic and Host in which all data attributes can be categorized. The analysis is done with respect to two prominent evaluation metrics, Detection Rate (DR) and False Alarm Rate (FAR) for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). As a result of this empirical analysis on the data set, the contribution of each of four classes of attributes on DR and FAR is shown which can help enhance the suitability of data set to achieve maximum DR with minimum FAR.
