ANFIS-based Multilayered Algorithm for Botnet Detection

Abstract

In this study, a multilayered botnet detection system for network-based botnet detection based on ANFIS is suggested. Two layers make up the suggested system, one of which is utilized for feature extraction and the other for botnet detection. Using mean and variance, the feature extraction layer pulls features from network traffic data. The botnet detection layer employs ANFIS to identify botnet activity based on the collected features. Using the CICIDS2017 dataset, the suggested system's performance is assessed. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested algorithm works better than other current botnet detection techniques regarding accuracy, precision, and recall. The proposed system obtained 99.83% accuracy, 99.75% precision, and 99.91 % recall. The proposed multilayered ANFIS-based botnet detection system offers an excellent way to identify botnet activity in a network. It can be utilized in various network security applications, such as threat intelligence, malware detection, and intrusion detection.
