Abstract

Today, the widespread use of IoT technologies cause many security problems. IoT devices have became the target of various attacks. The most common type of these attacks are botnet attacks. The continuous diversification and development of these attacks on IoT devices and the inability to apply traditional defense methods due to the limited hardware have led to researchers to search for new solutions in this area. Detecting attacks on devices as soon as possible and classifying them according to their types has become a popular subject of current studies. It is a good method to detect and classify zero-day attacks using machine learning methods. In this study, a model was created with Support Vector Machines (SVM), one of the supervised machine learning methods. The datasets that are widely used in the literature and especially contain both IoT botnet attack records and benign record types have been examined. The four most appropriate data sets (Bot-IoT, CICIDS-2017, IoT-23 and N-BaIoT) from these data sets were compared using our model. As a result of the evaluation, accuracy values of 99.94% for Bot-IoT data set, 99.95% for CICIDS-2017 data set, 99.96% for IoT-23 data set and 99.92% for N-BaIoT data set were reached. When these results are evaluated, it is seen that the usage of the datasets we have chosen is appropriate for attack detection and classification processes carried out by machine learning methods.

IoT Botnet Verisetlerinin Karşılaştırmalı Analizi

Abstract

Günümüzde IoT teknolojilerinin kullanımının yaygınlaşması birçok güvenlik sorunlarını da beraberinde getirmiştir. IoT cihazları çeşitli saldırıların hedefi haline gelmiştir. Bu saldırılarda en sık karşılaşılan tür botnet saldırılarıdır. IoT cihazlarda bu saldırıların sürekli çeşitlenerek gelişmesi ve donanımlarının kısıtlı olması sebebiyle geleneksel savunma yöntemlerinin uygulanamaması bu alanda yeni çalışmalara sebep olmuştur. Cihazlara yapılan saldırıların en kısa sürede tespit edilmesi, türlerine göre sınıflandırma yapılması güncel çalışmaların popüler konusu haline gelmiştir. Makine öğrenmesi yöntemleriyle sıfır gün saldırılarını tespit edip sınıflandırmak iyi bir yöntemdir. Yapılan bu çalışmada denetimli makine öğrenme yöntemlerinden Destek Vektör Makineleri (SVM) ile bir model oluşturulmuştur. Literatürde çokça kullanılan ve özellikle hem IoT botnet saldırı kayıtlarını hem de normal kayıt türlerini içeren verisetleri incelenmiştir. Bu veri setlerinden en uygun dört veriseti (Bot-IoT, CICIDS-2017, IoT-23 ve N-BaIoT) modelimiz üzerinde kullanılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda Bot-IoT veri seti için %99.94, CICIDS-2017 veri seti için %99.95, IoT-23 veri seti için %99.96 ve N-BaIoT veri seti için %99.92 oranında doğruluk değerlerine ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde makine öğrenme yöntemleri ile yapılan saldırı tespit ve sınıflandırma işlemlerinde seçmiş olduğumuz veri setlerinin kullanımının uygun olduğu görülmektedir.
