Effective Pattern Identification Model for DDoS Attack Detection

Abstract:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the major challenges to Internet community. Attackers send legitimate packets with often changing information from various compromised systems at random and at a very high frequency, rendering the target non-responsive for normal traffic. DDoS attacks are difficult to detect with traditional detection methods and standard Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Standard IDS tries to analyze the network traffic or system logs trying to identify emerging patterns on the network traffic. But due to randomness of the package origins it is difficult segregate true, false positive and normal traffic. This paper proposes a model based on Artificial Neural Networks to identify anomalies and detect DDoS patterns. In the proposed system sets of known characteristic features, which can separate attacks from normal traffic, are fed to the system to train the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This self learn system improves with each new attack as the false positives decrease and detection accuracy improves.

Awaiting session recording. Will post it soon.

Just Buzz... Where is AI?

Speaking to Recode’s Kara Swisher and MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Pichai said AI is “one of the most important things that humanity is working on. It’s more profound than, I don’t know, electricity or fire,” adding that people learned to harness fire for the benefits of humanity, but also needed to overcome its downsides, too. Pichai also said that AI could be used to help solve climate change issues, or to cure cancer. We are seeing some exciting things in the industry, Samsung’s massive 8K TVs apparently use AI to upscale lower resolution images for the big screen. Sony has created a new version of the Aibo robot dog, which this time promises more artificial intelligence. Travelmate’s robot suitcase will use AI to drive around and follow its owner wherever they go.  Kohler has invented Numi, a toilet that has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in etc., But despite all this, it does leave me wondering: is artificial intelligence really what we should be calling this revolution?...

AI gets smarter and more practical

We all know AI is coming to the forefront of technology in the form of machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks, where AI can understand the surroundings and apply that information to the current context, whether it is about data pattern analysis or driving a vehicle. Coupled with increasing capabilities of AI hardware, in 2018 we can expect: AI research will reach new heights in the fields of neural networks and generative adversarial networks. Cooperative learning among networks will lead to hybrid intelligence. Continuous evolution of AI will empower enterprise-scale business processes with intelligence and agility. AI will redefine the IT landscape with smart machines and borg systems. Read the complete article on DXC technology trends for 2018

AI - Intelligence is getting Hybrid

Cooperative learning among networks will lead to hybrid intelligence Neural networks will evolve from monolithic to distributed co-operative/competitive models. Coupled with evolving neural-fuzzy and generic fuzzy algorithms — reinforced learning models that are more adaptive to the environment and context (i.e., too noisy and time-varying systems) — these neural networks will evolve into hybrid intelligent systems that integrate different learning and adaptation techniques to overcome individual limitations
