Abstract:
The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to an escalation in security vulnerabilities, particularly concerning botnet attacks. Securing IoT networks against botnet threats is paramount to preserving network integrity and safeguarding sensitive data. Despite advancements in security measures, traditional methods often fall short in effectively detecting and mitigating botnet activity in IoT environments. There is a pressing need for robust and adaptive detection mechanisms capable of accurately identifying botnet behavior amidst the complexity of IoT network traffic. This research addresses the challenge of botnet detection in IoT networks, aiming to develop an effective and scalable solution that can accurately discern between benign and IoT botnets. To address this problem, we propose the use of ensemble learning techniques for the IoT botnet detection. Leveraging the N-BaIoT dataset, which offers real-world IoT traffic data, we apply the Voting Classifier to nine distinct IoT devices and evaluate its performance against key metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ensemble approach, achieving high accuracy with an average accuracy rate of 99.3%. Furthermore, the ensemble method exhibits strong precision, recall, and F1 scores across various IoT device types, underscoring its efficacy in accurately discerning botnet activity. This research contributes to the advancement of botnet detection in IoT networks by introducing an ensemble-based approach that offers robust and adaptive detection capabilities. Our findings highlight the potential of ensemble learning techniques in enhancing security measures in IoT environments. © 2024 ACM.
