Intrusion Detection Systems $($IDS$)$ with IoT Systems

$1$ Description

In today's data$-$driven world, the ability to leverage big data for insights and security decision$-$making is a critical skill, particularly in the context of IoT systems. This project offers an exciting opportunity for students to dive into the world of cybersecurity by working with real$-$world datasets designed to simulate Intrusion Detection Systems $($IDS$)$ within IoT environments. Students will explore the multifaceted world of data science and security by working with distinct types of datasets focusing on network traffic and intrusion events.

$2$ Project Goals

This project is designed to provide a holistic understanding of data science, machine learning, and their applicability to cybersecurity in IoT systems. More details:

$-$ Data Exploration: You will learn how to navigate and understand complex IoT network traffic datasets, gaining insights into data structures, network behavior patterns, and potential intrusion or anomaly markers.

$-$ Data Pre$-$processing: You will discover techniques to clean, preprocess, and transform raw network traffic data into a usable format, ensuring data quality and removing noise for effective analysis.

$-$ Machine Learning Modeling: You will apply machine learning algorithms to solve various tasks such as intrusion classification, anomaly detection, and clustering to identify malicious activities or abnormal network behaviors.

$-$ Visualization: You will create informative visualizations to effectively present your findings, including network traffic flows, intrusion events, and anomaly patterns.

$-$ Interpretation: You will develop the skills to interpret the results of your intrusion detection models, drawing meaningful insights about the effectiveness of the system in detecting and responding to security threats in IoT environments.

$3$ Datasets

The provided datasets have been collected to simulate and analyze Intrusion Detection Systems $($IDS$)$ within IoT environments. These datasets are designed to help you develop solutions for detecting and mitigating potential intrusions or anomalies in IoT networks.

The dataset has been divided into several parts, with each part representing a unique section of the overall dataset. These sections focus on specific intrusion scenarios, types of IoT devices, or network events. This structure ensures that each group or individual works on a manageable dataset part, allowing for indepth exploration and analysis of a particular aspect of IoT security.
