However, security attacks lean towards unpredictability. There are numerous difficulties to build up adaptable and powerful IDS for IoT in order to avoid false alerts and ensure a high recognition precision against attacks, especially with the rising of Botnet attacks. These attacks can even make harmless devices becoming zombies that send malicious traffic and disturb the network. In this paper, we propose a new IDS solution, baptized BotIDS, based on deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNN). The main interest of this work is to design, implement and test our IDS against some well-known Botnet attacks using a specific Bot-IoT dataset. Compared to other deep learning techniques, such as simple RNN, LSTM and GRU, the obtained results of our BotIDS are promising with 99.94% in validation accuracy, 0.58% in validation loss, and the prediction execution time is less than 0.34 ms.</span></span>

<p>Deep learning (DL) models are nowadays broadly applied and have shown outstanding performance in a variety of fields, including our focus topic of "IoTcybersecurity". Deep learning-based intrusion detection system (DL-IDS) models are more fixated and depended on the trained dataset. This poses a problem for these DL-IDS, especially with the known mutation and behavior changes of attacks, which can render them undetected. As a result, the DL-IDShas become outdated. In this work, we present a solution for updating DL-ID Semploying a transfer learning technique that allows us to retrain and fine-tune pre-trained models on small datasets with new attack behaviors. In our experiments, we built CNN-based IDS on the Bot-IoT dataset and updated it on small data from a new dataset named TON-IoT. We obtained promising results in multiple metrics regarding the detection rate and the training between the initial training for the original model and the updated one, in the matter of detecting new attacks behaviors and improving the detection rate for some classes by overcoming the lack of their labeled data.</p>

Sentiment analysis (SA) is widely used today in many areas such as crime detection (security intelligence) to detect potential security threats in realtime using social media platforms such as Twitter. The most promising techniques in sentiment analysis are those of deep learning (DL), particularly bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) in the field of natural language processing (NLP). However, employing the BERT algorithm to detect crimes requires a crime dataset labeled by the lexiconbased approach. In this paper, we used a hybrid approach that combines both lexicon-based and deep learning, with BERT as the DL model. We employed the lexicon-based approach to label our Twitter dataset with a set of normal and crime-related lexicons; then, we used the obtained labeled dataset to train our BERT model. The experimental results show that our hybrid technique outperforms existing approaches in several metrics, with 94.91% and 94.92% in accuracy and F1-score respectively.
