Ensemble learning model for APT attack detection in network

Overview

This project focuses on detecting Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) activities in network traffic by extracting flow-based features and training deep learning models for classification task.

Feature Extraction with CICFlowMeter

We used CICFlowMeter to extract statistical features from raw packet capture files (.pcap).

• Data source: Stratosphere Laboratory datasets
• Tool: CICFlowMeter

You can see some samples about dataset in "sample" folder. There are about 1000 samples.

Model Overview

The following models are implemented:

• GAN (Generative Adversarial Network): for generating synthetic network flow data (unbalanced dataset).
• ELModel (Ensemble Learning Model): combines of LSTM and Switch Transformer.

To train and evaluate:

Run: python main.py
