The surge in generic attacks execution against cipher text on the computer network has led to the continuous advancement of the mechanisms to protect information integrity and confidentiality. The implementation of explicit decision tree machine learning algorithm is reported to accurately classifier generic attacks better than some multi-classification algorithms as the multi-classification method suffers from detection oversight. However, there is a need to improve the accuracy and reduce the false alarm rate. Therefore, this study aims to improve generic attack classification by implementing two hybridized decision tree algorithms namely Naïve Bayes Decision tree (NBTree) and Logistic Model tree (LMT). The proposed hybridized methods were developed using the 10-fold cross-validation technique to avoid overfitting. The generic attack detector produced a 99.8% accuracy, an FPR score of 0.002 and an MCC score of 0.995. The performances of the proposed methods were better than the existing decision tree method. Similarly, the proposed method outperformed multi-classification methods for detecting generic attacks. Hence, it is recommended to implement hybridized decision tree method for detecting generic attacks on a computer network.

Detecting cyber-attacks using machine learning or deep learning is being studied and applied widely in network intrusion detection systems. We noticed that the application of deep learning algorithms yielded many good results. However, because each deep learning model has different architecture and characteristics with certain advantages and disadvantages, so those deep learning models are only suitable for specific datasets or features. In this paper, in order to optimize the process of detecting cyber-attacks, we propose the idea of building a new deep learning network model based on the association and combination of individual deep learning models. In particular, based on the architecture of 2 deep learning models: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), we combine them into a combined deep learning network for detecting cyber-attacks based on network traffic. The experimental results in Section IV.D have demonstrated that our proposal using the CNN-LSTM deep learning model for detecting cyber-attacks based on network traffic is completely correct because the results of this model are much better than some individual deep learning models on all measures.

By sending periodically short bursts of traffic to reduce legit transmission control protocol (TCP) traffic, the low-rate denial of service (LDoS) attacks are hard to be detected and may endanger covertly a network for a long period. Traditionally, LDoS detecting methods mainly concentrate on the attack stream with feature matching, and only a limited number of attack patterns can be detected off-line with high cost. Recent researches divert focus from the attack stream to the traffic anomalies induced by LDoS attacks, which can detect more kinds of attacks with higher efficiency. However, the limited number of abnormal characteristics and the inadequacy of judgment rules may cause wrong decision in some particular situations. In this paper, we address the problem of detecting LDoS attacks and present a scheme based on the fluctuant features of legit TCP and acknowledgment (ACK) traffic. In the scheme, we define judgment criteria which used to identify LDoS attacks in real time at an optimal detection cost. We evaluate the performance of our strategy in real-world network topologies. Simulations results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the method proposed in detecting LDoS attacks.

Traditional attack detection schemes based on packets or flows have very high computational complexity. And, network based anomaly detection schemes can reduce the complexity, but they have a limitation to figure out the pattern of the distributed global scale network attack. In this paper, we propose an efficient and fast method for detecting distributed global-scale network attack symptoms in high-speed backbone networks. The proposed method is implemented at the aggregate traffic level. So, our proposed scheme has much lower computational complexity, and is implemented in very high-speed backbone networks. In addition, the proposed method can detect attack patterns, such as attacks in which the target is a certain host or the backbone infrastructure itself, via collaboration of edge routers on the backbone network. The effectiveness of the proposed method are demonstrated via simulation.

최근 네트워크 기술의 발달로 인해 다양한 분야에서 네트워크 기술이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 발전하는 네트워크 기술을 악용하여 공공기관, 기업 등을 대상으로 하는 공격 사례가 증가하였다. 한편 기존 네트워크 침입 탐지 시스템은 네트워크 로그의 양이 증가함에 따라 로그를 처리하는데 많은 시간이 소요된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Snort를 이용한 비정형 네트워크 공격패턴 탐지를 수행하는 Spark 기반의 네트워크 로그 분석 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 대용량의 네트워크 로그 데이터에서 네트워크 공격 패턴탐지를 위해 필요한 요소를 추출하여 분석한다. 분석을 위해 Port Scanning, Host Scanning, DDoS, Worm 활동에 대해 네트워크 공격 패턴을 탐지하는 규칙을 제시하였으며, 이를 실제 로그 데이터에 적용하여 실제 공격 패턴 탐지를 잘 수행함을 보인다. 마지막으로 성능평가를 통해 제안하는 Spark 기반 로그분석 시스템이 Hadoop 기반 시스템에 비해 로그 데이터 처리 성능이 2배 이상 우수함을 보인다.

The attack technique targeting end-users through phishing URLs is very dangerous nowadays. With this technique, attackers could steal user data or take control of the system, etc. Therefore, early detecting phishing URLs is essential. In this paper, we propose a method to detect phishing URLs based on supervised learning algorithms and abnormal behaviors from URLs. Finally, based on the research results, we build a framework for detecting phishing URLs through end-users. The novelty and advantage of our proposed method are that abnormal behaviors are extracted based on URLs which are monitored and collected directly from attack campaigns instead of using inefficient old datasets.

The SYN flooding attack is widely used in cyber attacks because it paralyzes the network by causing the system and bandwidth resources to be exhausted. This paper proposed a self-information approach for detecting the SYN flooding attack and provided a detection algorithm with a hierarchical policy on a detection time domain. Compared with other detection methods of entropy measurement, the proposed approach is more efficient in detecting the SYN flooding attack, providing low misjudgment, hierarchical detection policy, and low time complexity. Furthermore, we proposed a detection algorithm with limiting system resources. Thus, the time complexity of our approach is only (log n) with lower time complexity and misjudgment rate than other approaches. Therefore, the approach can detect the denial-of-service/distributed denial-of-service attacks and prevent SYN flooding attacks.

Black and gray hole attack is one kind of routing disturbing attacks and can bring great damage to the network. As a result, an efficient algorithm to detect black and gray attack is important. This paper demonstrate an adaptive approach to detecting black and gray hole attacks in ad hoc network based on a cross layer design. In network layer, we proposed a path-based method to overhear the next hop's action. This scheme does not send out extra control packets and saves the system resources of the detecting node. In MAC layer, a collision rate reporting system is established to estimate dynamic detecting threshold so as to lower the false positive rate under high network overload. We choose DSR protocol to test our algorithm and ns-2 as our simulation tool. Our experiment result verifies our theory: the average detection rate is above 90% and the false positive rate is below 10%. Moreover, the adaptive threshold strategy contributes to decrease the false positive rate.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) refers to a network designed for special applications for which it is difficult to use a backbone network. In MANETs, applications are mostly involved with sensitive and secret information. Since MANET assumes a trusted environment for routing, security is a major issue. In this paper we analyze the vulnerabilities of a pro-active routing protocol called optimized link state routing (OLSR) against a specific type of denial-of-service (DOS) attack called node isolation attack. Analyzing the attack, we propose a mechanism called enhanced OLSR (EOLSR) protocol which is a trust based technique to secure the OLSR nodes against the attack. Our technique is capable of finding whether a node is advertising correct topology information or not by verifying its Hello packets, thus detecting node isolation attacks. The experiment results show that our protocol is able to achieve routing security with 45% increase in packet delivery ratio and 44% reduction in packet loss rate when compared to standard OLSR under node isolation attack. Our technique is light weight because it doesn't involve high computational complexity for securing the network.
