The use of network-connected gadgets is rising quickly in the internet age, which is escalating the number of cyberattacks. The detection of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks is a tedious task that has necessitated the development of a number of models for its identification recently. Nonetheless, because of major fluctuations in subscriptions and traffic rates, it continues to be a difficult challenge. A novel automatic detection technique was created to address this issue in this work, which reduces the feature space and consequently minimizes the computational time and model overfitting. Data preprocessing is done first to increase the model's generalizability; then, a feature selection method is used to choose the most pertinent features to increase the accuracy of the classification process. Additionally, hyperparameter tuning-choosing the proper parameters for the learning approach-improved model performance. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) is compatible with the optimization and the hyperparameters offered by supervised learning methods. The CICDDoS2019 dataset was used to evaluate each of these assays, and the experimental findings demonstrated that, with an accuracy of 99.95%, the suggested model performs well when compared to more modern techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
