DGA malicious domain name identification based on XGBoost and particle swarm optimization algorithm
Domain generation algorithms (DGA) have become a common method of network attacks. To enhance the detection capability for DGA malicious domains
a method for malicious domain identification based on XGBoost and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms was proposed. Firstly
using cross-validation accuracy as the evaluation metric
the PSO algorithm was employed to optimize the hyperparameters of XGBoost
followed by classification and identification using XGBoost. Experimental results demonstrate that the XGBoost model optimized by PSO exhibits improved performance in DGA malicious domain classification. Compared to other classification models
it achieves better results in metrics such as accuracy
precision
recall
and F1_score. The study indicates that integrating PSO for parameter selection effectively enhances the performance of XGBoost in DGA malicious domain identification tasks.
