Currently, many cyberattacks use the Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) to generate random domain names, so as to maintain communication with the Communication and Control (C&C) server. Discovering DGA domain names in advance could help to detect attacks and response in time. However, in recent years, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been promulgated and implemented, and the method of DGA classification based on the context information, such as the WHOIS (the information about the registered users or assignees of the domain name) , is no longer applicable. At the same time, acquiring the DGA algorithm by reversing malware samples encounters the problem of no malware samples for various reasons, such as fileless malware. We propose a DGA domain name classification method based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with attention mechanism. This method is oriented to the character sequence of the domain name, and it uses the LSTM combined with attention mechanism to construct the DGA domain name classifier to achieve the rapid classification of domain names. The experimental results show that the method has a good classification result.

To develop a daily monitoring system for early detection of fall risk of elderly people during walking, this study presents a highly accurate micro-Doppler radar (MDR)-based gait classification method for the young and elderly adults. Our method utilizes a time-series of velocity corresponding to leg motion during walking extracted from the MDR spectrogram (time-velocity distribution) in an experimental study involving 300 participants. The extracted time-series was inputted to a long short-term memory recurrent neural network to classify the gaits of young and elderly participant groups. We achieved a classification accuracy of 94.9%, which is significantly higher than that of a previously presented velocity-parameter-based classification method.
