Özet

Internet of Things (IoT) devices have flocked the whole world through the Internet. With increasing mission critical IoT data traffic, attacks on IoT networks have also increased. Many newly crafted attacks on IoT communication require equally intelligent intrusion detection methods to form the first step of countering the attacks. Our work contributes to intrusion detection in IoT networks, by putting state-of-the-art Deep learning methods into service. A BLSTM-GRU Hybrid (BGH) model has been designed to detect eight known IoT network attacks, based on two well-accepted CIC-IDS-2018 and BoT-IoT IoT network traffic datasets. The results of our BGH model in IoT network traffic intrusion detection have been auspicious. The accuracies of prediction on the two datasets are 98.78% and 99.99%. The f1-scores are 98.64% and 99.99%, respectively. The comparison of our results with similar previous studies showed that our BGH model has the best performance ratio (time/accuracy, time/f1-score), where time is the training time of the model. The performance of our proposed model is proof that hybrid Deep Learning methods can prove to be an innovative perspective on Intrusion Detection in IoT networks.
