Detection of Cyber Attack in IoT Based Model Using ANN Model with Genetic Algorithm

Thanks to the IoT, our everyday lives are now more accessible, connected, and convenient than ever before. Because it facilitates the effortless transfer of massive amounts of data between interconnected devices, it leaves the network vulnerable to various forms of intrusion and attack. As the number of interconnected devices grows, the need for reliable attack detection systems to forestall malicious actions becomes paramount. This paper introduces a strategy for detecting attacks on the Internet of Things (IoT) that integrates Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models. This paper introduces a model for an artificial neural network that uses genetic algorithms to detect attacks on the Internet of Things. While the GA adjusts the hyperparameters of the ANN model, the ANN model is responsible for determining whether network traffic is malicious or not. To evaluate the proposed system, an Internet of Things network traffic dataset was utilized. As demonstrated by the outcomes, the system has a commendable rate of detection. The system can spot DoS attacks. The results show that our method is great at finding attacks on the Internet of Things. we achieved a 99.3 percent accuracy rate with our suggested ANN with GA.
