An innovative approach for enhancing capacity utilization in point-to-point voice over internet protocol calls

Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) calls are increasingly transported over computer-based networking due to several factors, such as low call rates. However, point-to-point (P-P) calls, as a division of VoIP, are encountering a capacity utilization issue. The main reason for that is the giant packet header, especially when compared to the runt P-P calls packet payload. Therefore, this research article introduced a method to solve the liability of the giant packet header of the P-P calls. The introduced method is named voice segment compaction (VSC). The VSC method employs the unneeded P-P calls packet header elements to carry the voice packet payload. This, in turn, reduces the size of the voice payload and improves network capacity utilization. The preliminary results demonstrated the importance of the introduced VSC method, while network capacity improved by up to 38.33%

Performance Evaluation of an Intelligent and Optimized Machine Learning Framework for Attack Detection

In current decades, the size and complexity of network traffic data have risen significantly, which increases the likelihood of network penetration. One of today's largest advanced security concerns is the botnet. They are the mechanisms behind several online assaults, including Distribute Denial of Service (DDoS), spams, rebate fraudulence, phishing as well as malware attacks. Several methodologies have been created over time to address these issues. Existing intrusion detection techniques have trouble in processing data from speedy networks and are unable to identify recently launched assaults. Ineffective network traffic categorization has been slowed down by repetitive and pointless characteristics. By identifying the critical attributes and removing the unimportant ones using a feature selection approach could indeed reduce the feature space dimensionality and resolve the problem.Therefore, this articledevelops aninnovative network attack recognitionmodel combining an optimization strategy with machine learning framework namely, Grey Wolf with Artificial Bee Colony optimization-based Support Vector Machine (GWABC-SVM) model. The efficient selection of attributes is accomplished using a novel Grey wolf with artificial bee colony optimization approach and finally the Botnet DDoS attack detection is accomplished through Support Vector machine.This articleconducted an experimental assessment of the machine learning approachesfor UNBS-NB 15 and KDD99 databases for Botnet DDoS attack identification. The proposed optimized machine learning (ML) based network attack detection framework is evaluated in the last phase for its effectiveness in detecting the possible threats. The main advantage of employing SVM is that it offers a wide range of possibilities for intrusion detection program development for difficult complicated situations like cloud computing. In comparison to conventional ML-based models, the suggested technique has a better detection rate of 99.62% and is less time-consuming and robust

A fine-tuning of decision tree classifier for ransomware detection based on memory data

Ransomware has evolved into a pervasive and extremely disruptive cybersecurity threat, causing substantial operational and financial damage to individuals and businesses. This article explores the critical domain of Ransomware detection and employs Machine Learning (ML) classifiers, particularly Decision Tree (DT), for Ransomware detection. The article also delves into the usefulness of DT in identifying Ransomware attacks, leveraging the innate ability of DT to recognize complex patterns within datasets. Instead of merely introducing DT as a detection method, we adopt a comprehensive approach, emphasizing the importance of fine-tuning DT hyperparameters. The optimization of these parameters is essential for maximizing the DT capability to identify Ransomware threats accurately. The obfuscated-MalMem2022 dataset, which is well-known for its extensive and challenging Ransomware-related data, was utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of DT in detecting Ransomware. The implementation uses the versatile Python programming language, renowned for its efficiency and adaptability in data analysis and ML tasks. Notably, the DT classifier consistently outperforms other classifiers in Ransomware detection, including K-Nearest Neighbors, Gradient Boosting Tree, Naive Bayes, and Linear Support Vector Classifier. For instance, the DT demonstrated exceptional effectiveness in distinguishing between Ransomware and benign data, as evidenced by its remarkable accuracy of 99.97%
