Anomaly detection on dynamic graphs refers to detecting entities whose behaviors obviously deviate from the norms observed within graphs and their temporal information. This field has drawn increasing attention due to its application in…

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are able to model the complex highdimensional distributions of real-world data, which suggests they could be effective for anomaly detection. However, few works have explored the use of GANs for the…

Nowadays, botnets have become one of the major threats to cyber security. The characteristics of botnets are mainly reflected in bots network behavior and their intercommunication relationships. Existing botnet detection methods use flow…

While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has been shown to enhance factuality of large language model (LLM) outputs, LLMs still suffer from hallucination, generating incorrect or irrelevant information. A common detection strategy…

Computer security has been plagued by increasing formidable, dynamic, hard-to-detect, hard-to-predict, and hard-to-characterize hacking techniques. Such techniques are very often deployed in self-propagating worms capable of automatically…

Anomaly detection is often considered a challenging field of machine learning due to the difficulty of obtaining anomalous samples for training and the need to obtain a sufficient amount of training data. In recent years, autoencoders have…

The advent of location-based services has led to the widespread adoption of indoor localization systems, which enable location tracking of individuals within enclosed spaces such as buildings. While these systems provide numerous benefits…

The prevalence of networked sensors and actuators in many real-world systems such as smart buildings, factories, power plants, and data centers generate substantial amounts of multivariate time series data for these systems. The rich sensor…

In this paper, we propose XG-BoT, an explainable deep graph neural network model for botnet node detection. The proposed model comprises a botnet detector and an explainer for automatic forensics. The XG-BoT detector can effectively detect…

A covert attack method often used by APT organizations is the DNS tunnel, which is used to pass information by constructing C2 networks. And they often use the method of frequently changing domain names and server IP addresses to evade…

While deep neural networks demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on a variety of learning tasks, their performance relies on the assumption that train and test distributions are the same, which may not hold in real-world applications.…

Volumetric Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have been a recurrent issue on the Internet. These attacks generate a flooding of fake network traffic to interfere with targeted servers or network links. Despite many efforts to…

The generalization of deep neural networks to unknown domains is a major challenge despite their tremendous progress in recent years. For this reason, the dynamic area of domain generalization (DG) has emerged. In contrast to unsupervised…

Social media platforms, including X, Facebook, and Instagram, host millions of daily users, giving rise to bots-automated programs disseminating misinformation and ideologies with tangible real-world consequences. While bot detection in…

In this paper, we present the modular design and implementation of DONUT, a novel tool for identifying software running on a device. Our tool uses a rule-based approach to detect software-specific DNS fingerprints (stored in an easily…

The advancements in connected and autonomous vehicles in these times demand the availability of tools providing the agents with the capability to be aware and predict their own states and context dynamics. This article presents a novel…

In modern highly interconnected power grids, automatic generation control (AGC) is crucial in maintaining the stability of the power grid. The dependence of the AGC system on the information and communications technology (ICT) system makes…

Botnets are networks of compromised computers with malicious code which are remotely controlled and which are used for starting distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, sending enormous number of e-mails (SPAM) and other sorts of…

The widespread use of big data across sectors has raised major privacy concerns, especially when sensitive information is shared or analyzed. Regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA impose strict controls on data handling, making it difficult to…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been widely applied to different tasks such as bioinformatics, drug design, and social networks. However, recent studies have shown that GNNs are vulnerable to adversarial attacks which aim to mislead the…
