Benchmarking Large Language Models for Zero-Shot and Few-Shot Phishing URL Detection

The Uniform Resource Locator URL, introduced in a connectivity-first era to define access and locate resources, remains historically limited, lacking future-proof mechanisms for security, trust, or resilience against fraud and abuse, despite the introduction of reactive protections like HTTPS...

MADCAT: Combating Malware Detection under Concept Drift with Test-Time Adaptation

We present MADCAT, a self-supervised approach designed to address the concept drift problem in malware detection. MADCAT employs an encoder-decoder architecture and works by test-time training of the encoder on a small, balanced subset of the test-time data using a self-supervised objective. Duri...

Optimizing DDoS Detection in SDNs through Machine Learning Models

The emergence of Software-Defined Networking SDN has changed the network structure by separating the control plane from the data plane. However, this innovation has also increased susceptibility to DDoS attacks. Existing detection techniques are often ineffective due to data imbalance and accurac...
