Abstract Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is the most common attack that obstructs a network and makes it unavailable for a legitimate user. We proposed a deep neural network (DNN) model for the detection of DDoS attacks in the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm. SDN centralizes the control plane and separates it from the data plane. It simplifies a network and eliminates vendor specification of a device. Because of this open nature and centralized control, SDN can easily become a victim of DDoS attacks. We proposed a supervised Developed Deep Neural Network (DDNN) model that can… More >

Abstract Smart Agriculture, also known as Agricultural 5.0, is expected to be an integral part of our human lives to reduce the cost of agricultural inputs, increasing productivity and improving the quality of the final product. Indeed, the safety and ongoing maintenance of Smart Agriculture from cyber-attacks are vitally important. To provide more comprehensive protection against potential cyber-attacks, this paper proposes a new deep learning-based intrusion detection system for securing Smart Agriculture. The proposed Intrusion Detection System IDS, namely GMLP-IDS, combines the feedforward neural network Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) that can… More >

Abstract Due to the many types of distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) attacks and the large amount of data generated, it becomes a challenge to manage and apply the malicious behavior knowledge generated by DDoS attacks. We propose a malicious behavior knowledge base framework for DDoS attacks, which completes the construction and application of a multi-domain malicious behavior knowledge base. First, we collected malicious behavior traffic generated by five mainstream DDoS attacks. At the same time, we completed the knowledge collection mechanism through data pre-processing and dataset design. Then, we designed a malicious behavior category graph and… More >

Abstract Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have always been a major concern in the security field. With the release of malware source codes such as BASHLITE and Mirai, Internet of Things (IoT) devices have become the new source of DDoS attacks against many Internet applications. Although there are many datasets in the field of IoT intrusion detection, such as Bot-IoT, Constrained Application Protocol–Denial of Service (CoAP-DoS), and LATAM-DDoS-IoT (some of the names of DDoS datasets), which mainly focus on DDoS attacks, the datasets describing new IoT DDoS attack scenarios are extremely rare, and only N-BaIoT… More >

Abstract With the commercialization of 5th-generation mobile communications (5G) networks, a large-scale internet of things (IoT) environment is being built. Security is becoming increasingly crucial in 5G network environments due to the growing risk of various distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks across vast IoT devices. Recently, research on automated intrusion detection using machine learning (ML) for 5G environments has been actively conducted. However, 5G traffic has insufficient data due to privacy protection problems and imbalance problems with significantly fewer attack data. If this data is used to train an ML model, it will likely suffer… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of blockchain technology, the number of distributed applications continues to increase, so ensuring the security of the network has become particularly important. However, due to its decentralized, decentralized nature, blockchain networks are vulnerable to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which can lead to service stops, causing serious economic losses and social impacts. The research questions in this paper mainly include two aspects: first, the classification of DDoS, which refers to detecting whether blockchain nodes are suffering DDoS attacks, that is, detecting the data of nodes in parallel; The second is the problem… More >

Abstract Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) intrusions are damaging cyber-attacks, and their identification is of great interest to the Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Existing IDS are mainly based on Machine Learning (ML) methods including Deep Neural Networks (DNN), but which are rarely hybridized with other techniques. The intrusion data used are generally imbalanced and contain multiple features. Thus, the proposed approach aims to use a DNN-based method to detect DoS/DDoS attacks using CICIDS2017, CSE-CICIDS2018 and CICDDoS 2019 datasets, according to the following key points. a) Three imbalanced CICIDS2017-2018-2019 datasets, including Benign and DoS/DDoS attack classes, are used.… More >

Abstract Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest version of IP that goal to host 3.4 × 10³⁸ unique IP addresses of devices in the network. IPv6 has introduced new features like Neighbour Discovery Protocol (NDP) and Address Auto-configuration Scheme. IPv6 needed several protocols like the Address Auto-configuration Scheme and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6). IPv6 is vulnerable to numerous attacks like Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) which is one of the most dangerous attacks executed through ICMPv6 messages that impose security and financial implications. Therefore, an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)… More >

Abstract Cloud computing technology provides flexible, on-demand, and completely controlled computing resources and services are highly desirable. Despite this, with its distributed and dynamic nature and shortcomings in virtualization deployment, the cloud environment is exposed to a wide variety of cyber-attacks and security difficulties. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a specialized security tool that network professionals use for the safety and security of the networks against attacks launched from various sources. DDoS attacks are becoming more frequent and powerful, and their attack pathways are continually changing, which requiring the development of new detection methods. Here… More >

Abstract Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in the cloud Computing (CC) environment has received paramount interest over the last few years. Among the latest approaches, Deep Learning (DL)-based IDS methods allow the discovery of attacks with the highest performance. In the CC environment, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are widespread. The cloud services will be rendered unavailable to legitimate end-users as a consequence of the overwhelming network traffic, resulting in financial losses. Although various researchers have proposed many detection techniques, there are possible obstacles in terms of detection performance due to the use of insignificant traffic… More >
