Lightweight Deep Learning For Botnet Ddos Detection On Iot Access Networks, Eric A. Mccullough Dec 2020

Lightweight Deep Learning For Botnet Ddos Detection On Iot Access Networks, Eric A. Mccullough

MSU Graduate Theses

With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), computer networks have rapidly expanded in size. While Internet of Things Devices (IoTDs) benefit many aspects of life, these devices also introduce security risks in the form of vulnerabilities which give hackers billions of promising new targets. For example, botnets have exploited the security flaws common with IoTDs to gain unauthorized control of hundreds of thousands of hosts, which they then utilize to carry out massively disruptive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Traditional DDoS defense mechanisms rely on detecting attacks at their target and deploying mitigation strategies toward the attacker …


Applications Of Artificial Intelligence And Graphy Theory To Cyberbullying, Jesse D. Simpson Aug 2020

Applications Of Artificial Intelligence And Graphy Theory To Cyberbullying, Jesse D. Simpson

MSU Graduate Theses

Cyberbullying is an ongoing and devastating issue in today's online social media. Abusive users engage in cyber-harassment by utilizing social media to send posts, private messages, tweets, or pictures to innocent social media users. Detecting and preventing cases of cyberbullying is crucial. In this work, I analyze multiple machine learning, deep learning, and graph analysis algorithms and explore their applicability and performance in pursuit of a robust system for detecting cyberbullying. First, I evaluate the performance of the machine learning algorithms Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Logistic Regression. This yielded positive results and obtained upwards …
