Abstract Internet of Things (IoTs) provides better solutions in various fields, namely healthcare, smart transportation, home, etc. Recognizing Denial of Service (DoS) outbreaks in IoT platforms is significant in certifying the accessibility and integrity of IoT systems. Deep learning (DL) models outperform in detecting complex, non-linear relationships, allowing them to effectually severe slight deviations from normal IoT activities that may designate a DoS outbreak. The uninterrupted observation and real-time detection actions of DL participate in accurate and rapid detection, permitting proactive reduction events to be executed, hence securing the IoT network’s safety and functionality. Subsequently, this… More >

Abstract Cyberspace is extremely dynamic, with new attacks arising daily. Protecting cybersecurity controls is vital for network security. Deep Learning (DL) models find widespread use across various fields, with cybersecurity being one of the most crucial due to their rapid cyberattack detection capabilities on networks and hosts. The capabilities of DL in feature learning and analyzing extensive data volumes lead to the recognition of network traffic patterns. This study presents novel lightweight DL models, known as Cybernet models, for the detection and recognition of various cyber Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These models were constructed… More >

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 A space called Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cyber is a new environment where UAV, Ground Control Station (GCS) and business processes are integrated. Denial of service (DoS) attack is a standard network attack method, especially suitable for attacking the UAV cyber. It is a robust security risk for UAV cyber and has recently become an active research area. Game theory is typically used to simulate the existing offensive and defensive mechanisms for DoS attacks in a traditional network. In addition, the honeypot, an effective security vulnerability defense mechanism, has not been widely adopted or modeled… 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 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 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 >
