An Intrusion Detection System helps in identifying the security concerns of a network, by monitoring for any anomalies in the network connections. We have proposed a CRF based IDS system using genetic search feature selection algorithm for network security situational awareness to detect any  anomalies  in  the  network.  The  conditional  random  fields  being  discriminative  models  are  capable  of directly  modeling  the  conditional  probabilities  rather  than  joint  probabilities  there  by  achieving  better classification accuracy. The genetic search feature selection algorithm is capable of identifying the optimal subset  among  the  features  based  on  the  best  population  of  features  associated  with  the  target  class.  The proposed system, when trained and tested on the bench mark NSL-KDD dataset exhibited higher accuracy in identifying an attack and also classifying the attack category. }, issn = {3080-180X}, doi = {https://doi.org/}, url = {http://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jics/22394.html} }
