Optimization of Classification Models for Malicious Domain Detection
Pouč, Petr ; Jeřábek, Kamil (oponent) ; Hranický, Radek (vedoucí práce)
This thesis focuses on the development of advanced methods for malicious domain name detection using optimization techniques in machine learning. The thesis investigates and evaluates the effectiveness of different optimization strategies for classification. As evaluation tools, I selected classification algorithms that differ in their approach, including deep learning, decision tree techniques, or hyperplane search. These methods are investigated in terms of their ability to effectively classify domain names depending on the implemented optimization techniques. Optimization strategies include the creation of ground-truth datasets, application of data processing methods, advanced feature selection, solving the class imbalance problem, and hyperparameter tuning. The final part of the paper presents a detailed analysis of the benefits of each optimization approach. The experimental part of the study demonstrates exceptional results by combining several methodologies. The top CNN models obtained up to 0.9926 F1 while lowering FPR to 0.3%. The contribution of this study is to provide specific methodologies and tactics for the successful identification of malicious domain names in the cybersecurity area.
