Compare between PSO and artificial bee colony optimization algorithm in detecting DoS attacks from network traffic

Abstract

Our world today relies heavily on informatics and the internet, as computers and communications networks have increased day by day. In fact, the increase is not limited to portable devices such as smartphones and tablets, but also to home appliances such as: televisions, refrigerators, and controllers. It has made them more vulnerable to electronic attacks. The denial of service (DoS) attack is one of the most common attacks that affect the provision of services and commercial sites over the internet. As a result, we decided in this paper to create a smart model that depends on the swarm algorithms to detect the attack of denial of service in internet networks, because the intelligence algorithms have flexibility, elegance and adaptation to different situations. The particle swarm algorithm and the bee colony algorithm were used to detect the packets that had been exposed to the DoS attack, and a comparison was made between the two algorithms to see which of them can accurately characterize the DoS attack.
