Abstract

DDoS attacks based on the Internet of Things (IoT) have increased in number as a result of its recent growth. In this paper, a method for identifying botnet activity in consumer IoT networks and devices is presented. However, highly unbalanced network traffic data in the training set deteriorates the state-of-the-art ML and DL algorithms' classification capabilities, especially in classes with small sample sizes. This study developed a deep learning-based botnet assault detection algorithm called DenseNet - Binary Moth Flame Optimisation (DenseNet-BMFO).  In the meantime, the overall performance of the proposed DenseNet-BMFO and other commonly used algorithms is compared using standard evaluation markers. According to the simulation results, the DenseNet-BMFO approach for identifying IoT network intrusion threats is dependable and efficient. The results of the experiments showed that the suggested methodology produced a 98.25% accuracy rate. The results of the experiment show that the suggested model performs better in botnet detection categorization than the existing methods.
