Threat Detection in Social Media Networks Using Machine Learning Based Network Analysis

The accelerated development of social media websites has posed intricate security issues in cyberspace, where these sites have increasingly become victims of criminal activities including attempts to intrude into them, abnormal traffic patterns, and organized attacks. The conventional rule-based...

Adaptive Dual-Layer Web Application Firewall (ADL-WAF) Leveraging Machine Learning for Enhanced Anomaly and Threat Detection

Web Application Firewalls are crucial for protecting web applications against a wide range of cyber threats. Traditional Web Application Firewalls often struggle to effectively distinguish between malicious and legitimate traffic, leading to limited efficacy in threat detection. To overcome these...

Engineering Trustworthy Machine-Learning Operations with Zero-Knowledge Proofs

As Artificial Intelligence AI systems, particularly those based on machine learning ML, become integral to high-stakes applications, their probabilistic and opaque nature poses significant challenges to traditional verification and validation methods. These challenges are exacerbated in regulated...

Benchmarking Differentially Private Tabular Data Synthesis

Differentially private DP tabular data synthesis generates artificial data that preserves the statistical properties of private data while safeguarding individual privacy. The emergence of diverse algorithms in recent years has introduced challenges in practical applications, such as inconsistent...

How to Enhance Downstream Adversarial Robustness (Almost) without Touching the Pre-Trained Foundation Model?

With the rise of powerful foundation models, a pre-training-fine-tuning paradigm becomes increasingly popular these days: A foundation model is pre-trained using a huge amount of data from various sources, and then the downstream users only need to fine-tune and adapt it to specific downstream...

Fast, Effective N-grams Extraction and Analysis with SQL

Features extraction is expensive, especially when dealing with big data. That’s why it’s great when you have the ability to preprocess close to the database - the data stays in the DB and doesn’t have to move out, unless necessary. One common approach for text data representation is N-grams...

graduation_design

This is a Python script for a web intrusion detection system using machine learning. The script uses the scikit-learn library to implement a supervised learning approach. It collects and preprocesses normal requests and attack payloads, and uses a Support Vector Machine SVM to classify new reques...
