Résumé: With the continuous increase in cyberattacks over the past few decades, the quest to develop a comprehensive, robust, and effective intrusion detection system (IDS) in the research community has gained traction. Many of the recently proposed solutions lack a holistic IDS approach due to explicitly relying on attack signature repositories, outdated datasets or the lack of considering zero-day (unknown) attacks while developing, training, or testing the machine learning (ML) or deep learning (DL)-based models. Overlooking these factors makes the proposed IDS less robust or practical in real-time environments. On the other hand, detecting zero-day attacks is a challenging subject, despite the many solutions proposed over the past many years. One of the goals of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to provide a research asset to future researchers on various methodologies, techniques, ML and DL algorithms that researchers used for the detection of zero-day attacks. The extensive literature review on the recent publications reveals exciting future research trends and challenges in this particular field. With all the advances in technology, the availability of large datasets, and the strong processing capabilities of DL algorithms, detecting a completely new or unknown attack remains an open research area. This SLR is an effort towards completing the gap in providing a single repository of finding ML and DL-based tools and techniques used by researchers for the detection of zero-day attacks.
