Enhanced DDoS Detection using Machine Learning

The rapid growth of internet population poses a serious challenge to the security of internet resources. The security is directly affected by the hits of Denial of Services (DoS) attack which is rampant nowadays. With this evolving threat, designing a cutting-edge method is difficult from a cyber-security perspective. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based system for detecting Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which utilizes Logistic Regression, K- Nearest Neighbor, and Random Forest algorithms. We assess proposed models using a recently updated NSL KDD dataset. Our research’s findings also demonstrate that proposed model is highly accurate in detecting Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Our results show that our proposed model significantly improves upon current state-of-the-art attack detection methods
