Abstract: Phishing is a crime that involves the theft of personal information from users. Individuals, corporations, cloud storage, and government websites are all targets for the phishing websites. Anti-phishing technologies based on hardware are commonly utilised, while software-based options are preferred due to cost and operational considerations. Current phishing detection systems have no solution for problems like zero-day phishing assaults. To address these issues, a three-phase attack detection system called the Phishing Attack Detector based on Web Crawler was suggested, which uses a recurrent neural network to precisely detect phishing incidents. Based on the classification of phishing and non-phishing pages, it covers the input features Web traffic, web content, and Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Keywords: Attack detection, Recurrent Neural Network, Deep Learning.

Nowadays, network attacks are the most crucial problem of modern society. All networks, from small to large, are vulnerable to network threats. An intrusion detection (ID) system is critical for mitigating and identifying malicious threats in networks. Currently, deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) are being applied in different domains, especially information security, for developing effective ID systems. These ID systems are capable of detecting malicious threats automatically and on time. However, malicious threats are occurring and changing continuously, so the network requires a very advanced security solution. Thus, creating an effective and smart ID system is a massive research problem. Various ID datasets are publicly available for ID research. Due to the complex nature of malicious attacks with a constantly changing attack detection mechanism, publicly existing ID datasets must be modified systematically on a regular basis. So, in this paper, a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) is used to create a DL-based hybrid ID framework that predicts and classifies malicious cyberattacks in the network. In the HCRNNIDS, the convolutional neural network (CNN) performs convolution to capture local features, and the recurrent neural network (RNN) captures temporal features to improve the ID system’s performance and prediction. To assess the efficacy of the hybrid convolutional recurrent neural network intrusion detection system (HCRNNIDS), experiments were done on publicly available ID data, specifically the modern and realistic CSE-CIC-DS2018 data. The simulation outcomes prove that the proposed HCRNNIDS substantially outperforms current ID methodologies, attaining a high malicious attack detection rate accuracy of up to 97.75% for CSE-CIC-IDS2018 data with 10-fold cross-validation.

Systems for detecting network intrusions and detecting signs of attacks on information systems have long been used as one of the necessary lines of defense of information systems. Today, intrusion and attack detection systems are usually software or hardware-software solutions that automate the process of monitoring events occurring in an information system or network, as well as independently analyze these events in search of signs of security problems. As the number of different types and ways of organizing unauthorized intrusions into foreign networks has increased significantly in recent years, attack detection systems (ATS) have become a necessary component of the security infrastructure of most organizations. The article proposes a software prototype of a network attack detection system based on selected methods of data mining and neural network structures. The conducted experimental researches confirm efficiency of the created model of detection for protection of an information network. Experiments with a software prototype showed high quality detection of network attacks based on neural network structures and methods of intelligent data distribution. The state of protection of information systems to counter cyber attacks is analyzed, which made it possible to draw conclusions that to ensure the security of cyberspace it is necessary to implement a set of systems and protection mechanisms, namely systems: delimitation of user access; firewall; cryptographic protection of information; virtual private networks; anti-virus protection of ITS elements; detection and prevention of intrusions; authentication, authorization and audit; data loss prevention; security and event management; security management.

Intrusion detection is an emerging area of research in the computer security and net-works with the growing usage of internet in everyday life. Most intrusion detection systems (IDSs) mostly use a single classifier algorithm to classify the network traffic data as normal behavior or anomalous. However, these single classifier systems fail to provide the best possible attack detection rate with low false alarm rate. In this paper,we propose to use a hybrid intelligent approach using a combination of classifiers in order to make the decision intelligently, so that the overall performance of the resul-tant model is enhanced. The general procedure in this is to follow the supervised or un-supervised data filtering with classifier or cluster first on the whole training dataset and then the output are applied to another classifier to classify the data. In this re- search, we applied Neural Network with Supervised and Unsupervised Learning in order to implement the intrusion detection system. Moreover, in this project, we used the method of Parallelization with real time application of the system processors to detect the systems intrusions.Using this method enhanced the speed of the intrusion detection. In order to train and test the neural network, NSLKDD database was used. Creating some different intrusion detection systems, each of which considered as a single agent, we precisely proceeded with the signature-based intrusion detection of the network.In the proposed design, the attacks have been classified into 4 groups and each group is detected by an Agent equipped with intrusion detection system (IDS).These agents act independently and report the intrusion or non-intrusion in the system; the results achieved by the agents will be studied in the Final Analyst and at last the analyst reports that whether there has been an intrusion in the system or not.Keywords: Intrusion Detection, Multi-layer Perceptron, False Positives, Signature- based intrusion detection, Decision tree, Nave Bayes Classifier

Over the past decades, the Internet and information technologies have elevated security issues due to the huge use of networks. Because of this advance information and communication and sharing information, the threats of cybersecurity have been increasing daily. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is considered one of the most critical security components which detects network security breaches in organizations. However, a lot of challenges raise while implementing dynamics and effective NIDS for unknown and unpredictable attacks. Consider the machine learning approach to developing an effective and flexible IDS. A deep neural network model is proposed to increase the effectiveness of intrusions detection system. This chapter presents an efficient mechanism for network attacks detection and attack classification using the Management Information Base (MIB) variables with machine learning techniques. During the evaluation test, the proposed model seems highly effective with deep neural network implementation with a precision of 99.6% accuracy rate.

With the rapid development and popularization of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, an increasing number of cyber-attacks are targeting such devices. It was said that most of the attacks in IoT environments are botnet-based attacks. Many security weaknesses still exist on the IoT devices because most of them have not enough memory and computational resource for robust security mechanisms. Moreover, many existing rule-based detection systems can be circumvented by attackers. In this study, we proposed a machine learning (ML)-based botnet attack detection framework with sequential detection architecture. An efficient feature selection approach is adopted to implement a lightweight detection system with a high performance. The overall detection performance achieves around 99% for the botnet attack detection using three different ML algorithms, including artificial neural network (ANN), J48 decision tree, and Naïve Bayes. The experiment result indicates that the proposed architecture can effectively detect botnet-based attacks, and also can be extended with corresponding sub-engines for new kinds of attacks.

Recent researches showed that DNA encoding and pattern matching can be used for the intrusion-detection system (IDS), with results of high rate of attack detection. The evaluation of these intrusion detection systems is based on datasets that are generated decades ago. However, numerous studies outlined that these datasets neither inclusively reflect the network traffic, nor the modern low footprint attacks, and do not cover the current network threat environment. In this paper, a new DNA encoding for misuse IDS based on UNSW-NB15 dataset is proposed. The proposed system is performed by building a DNA encoding for all values of 49 attributes. Then attack keys (based on attack signatures) are extracted and, finally, Raita algorithm is applied to classify records, either attacks or normal, based on the extracted keys. The results of the current experiment showed that the proposed system achieved good detection rates for all of attacks, which included the Analysis, Backdoor, DoS, Exploits, Fuzzers, Generic, Reconnaissance, Shellcode, and Worms, with values of 82.56%, 92.68%, 75.59%, 75.42%, 67%, 99.28%, 81.02%, 73.6%, 85%, and 90.91%, respectively. The values of false alarm rate and accuracy were equal to 24% and 89.05%, respectively. Also, the execution time for the proposed system was found to be short, where the values of the encoding time and matching time for one record were 0.45 and 0.002 second, respectively.
