A Novel Byte-Level Flow-To-Image Encoding Method for Network Intrusion Detection Systems

Network-based Intrusion Detection Systems IDS are predominantly trained on tabular flow records, whose one-dimensional representations limit convolutional architectures from exploiting inter-feature spatial correlations. This paper presents a novel byte-level flow-to-image encoding method that...

SDNGuardStack: An Explainable Ensemble Learning Framework for High-Accuracy Intrusion Detection in Software-Defined Networks

Software-Defined Networking SDN is another technology that has been developing in the last few years as a relevant technique to improve network programmability and administration. Nonetheless, its centralized design presents a major security issue, which requires effective intrusion detection...

Flow-Based Detection and Identification of Zero-Day IoT Cameras

The majority of consumer IoT devices lack mechanisms for administrators to monitor and control them, hindering tailored security policies. A key challenge is identifying whether a new device, especially a streaming IoT camera, has joined the network. We present zCamInspector, a system for...

Are Trees Really Green? A Detection Approach of IoT Malware Attacks

Nowadays, the Internet of Things IoT is widely employed, and its usage is growing exponentially because it facilitates remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision making, especially in the healthcare and industrial sectors. However, IoT devices remain vulnerable due to the...
