Network Intrusion Traffic Detection Based on Feature Extraction

With the increasing dimensionality of network traffic,extracting effective traffic features and improving the identification accuracy of different intrusion traffic have become critical in intrusion detection systems(IDS).However,both unsupervised and semisupervised anomalous traffic detection methods suffer from the drawback of ignoring potential correlations between features,resulting in an analysis that is not an optimal set.Therefore,in order to extract more representative traffic features as well as to improve the accuracy of traffic identification,this paper proposes a feature dimensionality reduction method combining principal component analysis and Hotelling’s T^(2) and a multilayer convolutional bidirectional long short-term memory(MSC_BiLSTM)classifier model for network traffic intrusion detection.This method reduces the parameters and redundancy of the model by feature extraction and extracts the dependent features between the data by a bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)network,which fully considers the influence between the before and after features.The network traffic is first characteristically downscaled by principal component analysis(PCA),and then the downscaled principal components are used as input to Hotelling’s T^(2) to compare the differences between groups.For datasets with outliers,Hotelling’s T^(2) can help identify the groups where the outliers are located and quantitatively measure the extent of the outliers.Finally,a multilayer convolutional neural network and a BiLSTM network are used to extract the spatial and temporal features of network traffic data.The empirical consequences exhibit that the suggested approach in this manuscript attains superior outcomes in precision,recall and F1-score juxtaposed with the prevailing techniques.The results show that the intrusion detection accuracy,precision,and F1-score of the proposed MSC_BiLSTM model for the CIC-IDS 2017 dataset are 98.71%,95.97%,and 90.22%.

Autonomous driving technology has entered a period of rapid development,and traffic sign detection is one of the important tasks.Existing target detection networks are difficult to adapt to scenarios where target sizes are seriously imbalanced,and traffic sign targets are small and have unclear features,which makes detection more difficult.Therefore,we propose aHybrid Feature Fusion Traffic Sign detection algorithmbased onYOLOv7(HFFTYOLO).First,a self-attention mechanism is incorporated at the end of the backbone network to calculate feature interactions within scales;Secondly,the cross-scale fusion part of the neck introduces a bottom-up multi-path fusion method.Design reuse paths at the end of the neck,paying particular attention to cross-scale fusion of highlevel features.In addition,we found the appropriate channel width through a lot of experiments and reduced the superfluous parameters.In terms of training,a newregression lossCMPDIoUis proposed,which not only considers the problem of loss degradation when the aspect ratio is the same but the width and height are different,but also enables the penalty term to dynamically change at different scales.Finally,our proposed improved method shows excellent results on the TT100K dataset.Compared with the baseline model,without increasing the number of parameters and computational complexity,AP0.5 and AP increased by 2.2%and 2.7%,respectively,reaching 92.9%and 58.1%.

Detecting While Accessing:A Semi-Supervised Learning-Based Approach for Malicious Traffic Detection in Internet of Things

In the upcoming large-scale Internet of Things(Io T),it is increasingly challenging to defend against malicious traffic,due to the heterogeneity of Io T devices and the diversity of Io T communication protocols.In this paper,we propose a semi-supervised learning-based approach to detect malicious traffic at the access side.It overcomes the resource-bottleneck problem of traditional malicious traffic defenders which are deployed at the victim side,and also is free of labeled traffic data in model training.Specifically,we design a coarse-grained behavior model of Io T devices by self-supervised learning with unlabeled traffic data.Then,we fine-tune this model to improve its accuracy in malicious traffic detection by adopting a transfer learning method using a small amount of labeled data.Experimental results show that our method can achieve the accuracy of 99.52%and the F1-score of 99.52%with only 1%of the labeled training data based on the CICDDoS2019 dataset.Moreover,our method outperforms the stateof-the-art supervised learning-based methods in terms of accuracy,precision,recall and F1-score with 1%of the training data.

Then, the asymptotic feature pyramid network (AFPN) is introduced to highlight the influence of key layer features after feature fusion, and simultaneously solve the direct interaction of non-adjacent layers. Experimental results on the TT100K dataset show that compared with the YOLOv8, the detection accuracy and recall are higher. .

GL-YOLOv5: An Improved Lightweight Non-Dimensional Attention Algorithm Based on YOLOv5

Craniocerebral injuries represent the primary cause of fatalities among riders involved in two-wheeler accidents;nevertheless,the prevalence of helmet usage among these riders remains alarmingly low.Consequently,the accurate identification of riders who are wearing safety helmets is of paramount importance.Current detection algorithms exhibit several limitations,including inadequate accuracy,substantial model size,and suboptimal performance in complex environments with small targets.To address these challenges,we propose a novel lightweight detection algorithm,termed GL-YOLOv5,which is an enhancement of the You Only Look Once version 5(YOLOv5)framework.This model incorporates a Global DualPooling NoReduction Blend Attention(GDPB)module,which optimizes the MobileNetV3 architecture by reducing the number of channels by half and implementing a parallelized channel and spatial attention mechanism without dimensionality reduction.Additionally,it replaces the conventional convolutional layer with a channel shuffle approach to overcome the constraints associated with the Squeeze-and-Excitation(SE)attention module,thereby significantly improving both the efficiency and accuracy of feature extraction and decreasing computational complexity.Furthermore,we have optimized the Variable Normalization and Attention Channel Spatial Partitioning(VNACSP)within the C3 module of YOLOv5,which enhances sensitivity to small targets through the application of a lightweight channel attention mechanism,substituting it for the standard convolution in the necking network.The Parameter-Free Spatial Adaptive Feature Fusion(PSAFF)module is designed to adaptively modify the weights of each spatial position through spatial pooling and activation functions,thereby effectively enhancing the model’s ability to perceive contextual information over distances.Ultimately,GL-YOLOv5 performs remarkably in the custom dataset,achieving a model parameter count of 922,895 M,a computational load of 2.9 GFLOPS,and a mean average precision(mAP)of 92.1%.These advancements significantly improve the model’s detection capabilities and underscore its potential for practical applications.

A broad learning-based comprehensive defence against SSDP reflection attacks in IoTs

The proliferation of Internet of Things(IoT)rapidly increases the possiblities of Simple Service Discovery Protocol(SSDP)reflection attacks.Most DDoS attack defence strategies deploy only to a certain type of devices in the attack chain,and need to detect attacks in advance,and the detection of DDoS attacks often uses heavy algorithms consuming lots of computing resources.This paper proposes a comprehensive DDoS attack defence approach which combines broad learning and a set of defence strategies against SSDP attacks,called Broad Learning based Comprehensive Defence(BLCD).The defence strategies work along the attack chain,starting from attack sources to victims.It defends against attacks without detecting attacks or identifying the roles of IoT devices in SSDP reflection attacks.BLCD also detects suspicious traffic at bots,service providers and victims by using broad learning,and the detection results are used as the basis for automatically deploying defence strategies which can significantly reduce DDoS packets.For evaluations,we thoroughly analyze attack traffic when deploying BLCD to different defence locations.Experiments show that BLCD can reduce the number of packets received at the victim to 39 without affecting the standard SSDP service,and detect malicious packets with an accuracy of 99.99%.

Traffic sign detection is a crucial task for autonomous driving systems.However,the performance of deep learning-based algorithms for traffic sign detection is highly affected by the illumination conditions of scenarios.While existing algo-rithms demonstrate high accuracy in well-lit environments,they suffer from low accuracy in low-light scenarios.This paper proposes an end-to-end framework,LLTH-YOLOv5,specifically tailored for traffic sign detection in low-light scenarios,which enhances the input images to improve the detection performance.The proposed framework comproses two stages:the low-light enhancement stage and the object detection stage.In the low-light enhancement stage,a lightweight low-light enhancement network is designed,which uses multiple non-reference loss functions for parameter learning,and enhances the image by pixel-level adjustment of the input image with high-order curves.In the object detection stage,BIFPN is introduced to replace the PANet of YOLOv5,while designing a transformer-based detection head to improve the accuracy of small target detection.Moreover,GhostDarkNet53 is utilized based on Ghost module to replace the backbone network of YOLOv5,thereby improving the real-time performance of the model.The experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy of traffic sign detection in low-light scenarios,while satisfying the real-time requirements of autonomous driving.

A parallel algorithm for detecting traffic patterns using stay point features and moving features

In order to detect the traffic pattern of moving objects in the city more accurately and quickly, a parallel algorithm for detecting traffic patterns using stay points and moving features is proposed. First, the features of the stay points in different traffic patterns are extracted, that is, the stay points of various traffic patterns are identified, respectively, and the clustering algorithm is used to mine the unique features of the stop points to different traffic patterns. Then, the moving features in different traffic patterns are extracted from a trajectory of a moving object, including the maximum speed, the average speed, and the stopping rate. A classifier is constructed to predict the traffic pattern of the trajectory using the stay points and moving features. Finally, a parallel algorithm based on Spark is proposed to detect traffic patterns. Experimental results show that the stay points and moving features can reflect the difference between different traffic modes to a greater extent, and the detection accuracy is higher than those of other methods. In addition, the parallel algorithm can increase the speed of identifying traffic patterns.

A method to generate foggy optical images based on unsupervised depth estimation

For traffic object detection in foggy environment based on convolutional neural network(CNN),data sets in fog-free environment are generally used to train the network directly.As a result,the network cannot learn the object characteristics in the foggy environment in the training set,and the detection effect is not good.To improve the traffic object detection in foggy environment,we propose a method of generating foggy images on fog-free images from the perspective of data set construction.First,taking the KITTI objection detection data set as an original fog-free image,we generate the depth image of the original image by using improved Monodepth unsupervised depth estimation method.Then,a geometric prior depth template is constructed to fuse the image entropy taken as weight with the depth image.After that,a foggy image is acquired from the depth image based on the atmospheric scattering model.Finally,we take two typical object-detection frameworks,that is,the two-stage object-detection Fster region-based convolutional neural network(Faster-RCNN)and the one-stage object-detection network YOLOv4,to train the original data set,the foggy data set and the mixed data set,respectively.According to the test results on RESIDE-RTTS data set in the outdoor natural foggy environment,the model under the training on the mixed data set shows the best effect.The mean average precision(mAP)values are increased by 5.6%and by 5.0%under the YOLOv4 model and the Faster-RCNN network,respectively.It is proved that the proposed method can effectively improve object identification ability foggy environment.

A Method for Detecting Wide-scale Network Traffic Anomalies

Network traffic anomalies refer to the traffic changed abnormally and obviously.Local events such as temporary network congestion,Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)attack and large-scale scan,or global events such as abnormal network routing,can cause network anomalies.Network anomaly detection and analysis are very important to Computer Security Incident Response Teams(CSIRT).But wide-scale traffic anomaly detection requires extracting anomalous modes from large amounts of high-dimensional noise-rich data,and interpreting the modes;so,it is very difficult.This paper proposes a general method based on Principle Component Analysis(PCA)to analyze network anomalies.This method divides the traffic matrix into normal and anomalous subspaces,maps traffic vectors into the normal subspace,gets the distance from detected vector to average normal vector,and detects anomalies based on that distance.
