The advent of the Internet that aided the efficient sharing of resources. Also, it has introduced adversaries whom are today restlessly in their continued efforts at an effective, non-detectable means to invade secure systems, either for fun or personal gains. They achieve these feats via the use of malware, which is both on the rise, wreaks havoc alongside causing loads of financial losses to users. With the upsurge to counter these escapades, users and businesses today seek means to detect these evolving behavior and pattern by these adversaries. It is also to worthy of note that adversaries have also evolved, changing their own structure to make signature detection somewhat unreliable and anomaly detection tedious to network administrators. Our study investigates the detection of the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks using machine learning techniques. Results shows that though evolutionary models have been successfully implemented in the detection DDoS, the search for optima is an inconclusive and continuous task. That no one method yields a better optima than hybrids. That with hybrids, users must adequately resolve the issues of data conflicts arising from the dataset to be used, conflict from the adapted statistical methods arising from data encoding, and conflicts in parameter selection to avoid model overtraining, over-fitting and over-parameterization.

Machine Learning Approach

Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDoS) is a deadliest weapon which overwhelm the server or network by sending flood of packets towards it. The attack disrupts the services running on the target thereby blocking the legitimate traffic accessing its services. Various advanced machine learning techniques have been applied for detection of different types of DDoS attacks but still the attack remains a potential threat to the world. There are mainly two broad categories of machine learning techniques: supervised machine learning approach and unsupervised machine learning approach. Supervised machine learning approach requires labelled attack traffic datasets whereas unsupervised machine learning approach analyses incoming network traffic and then categorizes it. In this paper we have attempted to apply four different classifiers for the detection of DDoS attacks. The four classifiers applied are Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, K- Nearest Neighbor and Artificial Neural Network. The chosen classifiers provide stable results when there is a large dataset. We compared their detection accuracy on KDD dataset which is a benchmark dataset in the field of network security. This paper is novel as it explains each pre-processing step with python conversion functions and explained in detail all the classifiers and detection accuracy with their functions in python as well.

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is one of the most disastrous attacks that compromises the resources and services of the server. DDoS attack makes the services unavailable for its legitimate users by flooding the network with illegitimate traffic. Most commonly, it targets the bandwidth and resources of the server. This chapter discusses various types of DDoS attacks with their behavior. It describes the state-of-the-art of DDoS attacks. An emerging technology named “Software-defined networking” (SDN) has been developed for new generation networks. It has become a trending way of networking. Due to the centralized networking technology, SDN suffers from DDoS attacks. SDN controller manages the functionality of the complete network. Therefore, it is the most vulnerable target of the attackers to be attacked. This work illustrates how DDoS attacks affect the whole working of SDN. The objective of this chapter is also to provide a better understanding of DDoS attacks and how machine learning approaches may be used for detecting DDoS attacks.

The DDoS attacks are the most destructive attacks that interrupt the safe operation of essential services delivered by the internet community’s different organizations. DDOS stands for Distributed Denial Of Service attacks. These attacks are becoming more complex and expected to expand in number day after day, rendering detecting and combating these threats challenging. Hence, an advanced intrusion detection system (IDS) is required to identify and recognize an- anomalous internet traffic behaviour. Within this article the process is supported on the latest dataset containing the current form of DDoS attacks including (HTTP flood, SIDDoS). This study combines well-known grouping methods such as Naïve Bayes, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and SVM, Decision trees.

Malware is the most serious security threat, which possibly targets billions of devices like personal computers, smartphones, etc. across the world. Malware classification and detection is a challenging task due to the targeted, zero-day, and stealthy nature of advanced and new malwares. The traditional signature detection methods like antivirus software were effective for detecting known malwares. At present, there are various solutions for detection of such unknown malwares employing feature-based machine learning algorithms. Machine learning techniques detect known malwares effectively but are not optimal and show a low accuracy rate for unknown malwares. This chapter explores a novel deep learning model called deep dilated residual network model for malware image classification. The proposed model showed a higher accuracy of 98.50% and 99.14% on Kaggle Malimg and BIG 2015 datasets, respectively. The new malwares can be handled in real-time with minimal human interaction using the proposed deep residual model.
