a fast internet of things ddos attack detection method using deep feedforward networks

The increasing use of internet of things (iot) devices has led to a surge in data traffic, which can be vulnerable to intentional denial-of-service attacks that disrupt the intended quality of service. this paper presents a deep learning-based approach using feedforward neural networks (fnns) to detect distributed denial-of-service (ddos) attacks in iot networks. we evaluated the performance of this approach on the iot-23 dataset, which included captures of both malware-infected and benign iot traffic. we conducted a comparative analysis between the fnn approach and three commonly used machine learning models, namely, support vector machines (svm), random forests (rf), and gradient boosting (grb). our findings demonstrate that all methods achieve similar levels of accuracy. however, the fnn model distinguishes itself with significantly higher precision than the other models. furthermore, our analysis revealed that fnn exhibits the shortest learning time among the considered models.
