PortScan attacks are a common security threat in computer networks, where an attacker systematically scans a range of network ports on a target system to identify potential vulnerabilities. Detecting such attacks in a timely and accurate manner is crucial to ensure network security. Attackers can determine whether a port is open by sending a detective message to it, which helps them find potential vulnerabilities. However, the best methods for spotting and identifying port scanner attacks are those that use machine learning. One of the most dangerous online threats is PortScan attack, according to experts. The research is work on detection while improving detection accuracy. Dataset containing tags from network traffic is used to train machine learning techniques for classification. The JRip algorithm is trained and tested using the CICIDS2017 dataset. As a consequence, the best performance results for JRip-based detection schemes were 99.84%, 99.80%, 99.80%, and 0.09 ms for accuracy, precision, recall, F-score, and detection overhead, respectively. Finally, the comparison with current models demonstrated our model's proficiency and advantage with increased attack discovery speed. © 2023, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have been identified as one of the greatest threats to software-defined networking (SDN) because they are highly effective, hard to detect, and easy to use, and they take advantage of vulnerabilities in which the new architecture still exists. This paper describes one technique for denying the RYU controller’s services, which can cause the controller’s resources to be depleted if a significant number of packets from various zombie hosts are sent to the controller using spoofed source internet protocol (IP) addresses. In order to demonstrate the impact of the attack, we measure various metrics related to RYU controllers such as its central processing unit (CPU) usage and network throughput. In this work, Mininet was used to simulate the data plane and measure metrics such as random access memory (RAM) usage, CPU load, and link latency. © 2023 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

Data mining is a process that interacts with a large dataset to determine complex interesting patterns from unknown structured data. Visual data mining (VDM) is considered a combination of two disciplines: data mining and visualization to explore useful and implicit knowledge from a huge dataset. Also, it is strongly associated with multimedia systems, high-performance computing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and pattern recognition. Recently, VDM approaches find useful in the healthcare sector to aid the decision-making process. In addition, the design of VDM approaches for healthcare applications needs special consideration to make sure security of data.

In recent times, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) has been significantly considered by several service providers from urban locations. Such a network could not only prevent accidents and enhance road safety but among them offer a means of entertainment to passengers. But, based on the present analysis, effective routing is until remained a big open problem for the VANETs. The vehicle's limited broadcast range reasons the route for participating from data broadcast in the source S to destination D can vanish seldom. So, the stable route from source to destination requires for delivering data packets at planned destination. This study designs an Intelligent Artificial Humming Bird Optimization based Distance Aware Routing (IAHBO-DAR) scheme for VANET.

A wide range of simulations have been conducted to exhibit the enhanced routing performance of the IAHBO-DAR approach. The experimental value demonstrates the betterment of the IAHBO-DAR algorithm compared to recent approaches. © 2023 IEEE.
Intelligent Transportation system becomes a hot research topic, afterwards Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensors have been efficiently integrated with vehicular Adhoc networks (VANET). Routing is a challenging issue in VANET to enable the effectual communication of data. Computational Intelligence (CI) is an emerging field that applies or develops a set of nature-inspired algorithms and methodologies to overcome challenging problems in real-time. The algorithms and methodologies are more commonly applied to manage complex engineering problems for which the traditional or mathematical modelling method is ineffective.
