An Abnormal Traffic Detection Model Combined BiIndRNN With Global Attention

Abstract

As time series data with internal correlation, airborne networks traffic data can be used for abnormal detection using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and its variants, but existing models are difficult to calculate in parallel and gradient explosion or vanishing easily occurs. To address this problem, we propose a Bidirectional Independent Recurrent Neural Network (BiIndRNN) with parallel computation and adjustable gradient, which can extract the bidirectional structural features of network traffic by forward and backward input and capture the spatial influence in the data flow. In order to establish the dependencies on the forward and backward moments of airborne networks traffic, a model combining Global Attention (GA) with BiIndRNN is proposed to pay more attention to the moments containing essential information. Taking the UNSW-NB15 dataset as the object, the GA expression of the packets feature vector of the airborne networks is derived, feature fusion as well as loss calculation is performed for multiple fully connected layers. The experimental results show that, compared with traditional deep and shallow machine learning and other state-of-the-art technologies, our GA-BiIndRNN model converges faster, the accuracy, precision and F1 scores are all above 99%, and the false positive rate (FPR) is close to 0.36%, which can effectively identify normal and malicious network activities. These results provide a theoretical basis of rapid implementation of protective measures.

Improved Resnet Model Based on Positive Traffic Flow for IoT Anomalous Traffic Detection

“…Based on our understanding of neural networks [34][35][36][37][38], we hypothesized that the Resnet residual network effectively captures the spatial (2D) feature information of traffic data. However, it overlooks the sequence features inherent in traffic data, which may result in incomplete feature extraction and consequently impact the detection of malicious traffic.…”

“…By introducing the gating mechanism, LSTM, which is based on recurrent neural network (RNN), can effectively solve the gradient explosion and gradient disappearance problems brought by traditional RNNs (Li et al, 2022). Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the basic principle of LSTM.…”
