Cloud computing is an internet or intranet based computing, where infrastructure, information and Application are provisioned based on demand. The major breach in cloud is its security due to its huge extends of resources available in it. The major threats are data loss or leakage and hijacking. This paper presents Cloud Intrusion Detection Data Sets (CIDD) and virtual host based Intrusion Detection System. CIDD contains attack signatures based on port that are opened in cloud for communications, The signatures are prepared manually and scored using common vulnerability scoring system. Genetic Algorithm is the technique applied for generating rules from existing datasets. Large set of rules can be generated for intrusion detection by mean of genetic operation.
