Abstract
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a type of attack that leverages many compromised systems or computers, as well as multiple Internet connections, to flood targeted resources simultaneously. A DDoS attack's main purpose is to disrupt website traffic and cause it to crash. As traffic grows over time, detecting a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assault is a challenging task. Furthermore, a dataset containing a large number of features may degrade machine learning's detection performance. Therefore, in machine learning, it is necessary to prepare a relevant list of features for the training phase in order to obtain good accuracy performance. With far too many possibilities, choosing the relevant feature is complicated. This study proposes the Boruta algorithm as a suitable approach to achieve accuracy in identifying the relevant features. To evaluate the Boruta algorithm, multiple classifiers (J48, random forest, naïve bayes, and multilayer perceptron) were used so as to determine the effectiveness of the features selected by the the Boruta algorithm. The outcomes obtained showed that the random forest classifier had a higher value, with a 100% true positive rate, and 99.993% in the performance measure of accuracy, when compared to other classifiers.
