Abstract

This article presents the advances obtained in a research on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for the detection of denial of service (DoS). The investigation begins with the analysis of Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques used to recognize DoS attacks, and then continues with the selection, training and classification of an algorithm for DoS detection. From the work carried out, it was possible to identify the artificial neural network Deep Feed Forward, which is a Deep Learning (DL) algorithm, which shows a very promising behavior to detect DoS attacks. For model training, the CICDDoS2019 data set was adapted, this data set contains twelve types of packages; eleven are DoS attacks and the twelfth belongs to benign or normal packets. The precision obtained was 0.7293, for the DL in-put model that recognizes 11 types of DoS attacks.
