To overcome the challenges of feature selection in traditional machine learning and enhance the accuracy of deep learning methods for anomaly traffic detection, we propose a novel method called DCGCANet. This model integrates dilated convolution, a GRU, and a Channel Attention Network, effectively combining dilated convolutional structures with GRUs to extract both temporal and spatial features for identifying anomalous patterns in network traffic. The one-dimensional dilated convolution (DC-1D) structure is designed to expand the receptive field, allowing for comprehensive traffic feature extraction while minimizing information loss typically caused by pooling operations. The DC structure captures spatial dependencies in the data, while the GRU processes time series data to capture dynamic traffic changes. Furthermore, the channel attention (CA) module assigns importance-based weights to features in different channels, enhancing the model’s representational capacity and improving its ability to detect abnormal traffic. DCGCANet achieved an accuracy rate of 99.6% on the CIC-IDS-2017 dataset, outperforming other algorithms. Additionally, the model attained precision, recall, and F1 score rates of 99%. The generalization capability of DCGCANet was validated on a subset of CIC-IDS-2017, demonstrating superior detection performance and robust generalization potential.

Due to technological advancements in recent years, the availability and usage of smart electronic gadgets have drastically increased. Adoption of these smart devices for a variety of applications in our day-to-day life has become a new normal. As these devices collect and store data, which is of prime importance, securing is a mandatory requirement by being vigilant against intruders. Many traditional techniques are prevailing for the same, but they may not be a good solution for the devices with resource constraints. The impact of artificial intelligence is not negligible in this concern. This study is an attempt to understand and analyze the performance of deep learning algorithms in intrusion detection. A comparative analysis of the performance of deep neural network, convolutional neural network, and long short-term memory using the CIC-IDS 2017 dataset.

With the rapid development of the internet, network security threats are becoming increasingly complex and diverse, making traditional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) inadequate for handling the growing variety of sophisticated attacks. In particular, traditional methods based on rule matching and manual feature extraction demonstrate significant limitations in dealing with small samples and unknown attacks. This paper proposes an intrusion detection system based on multi-level feature extraction and inductive learning (MFEI-IDS) to address these challenges. The model innovatively integrates Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) with the Transformer architecture (FCN–Transformer) for feature extraction and utilizes an inductive learning component for efficient classification. The FCN–Transformer Encoder extracts multi-level features from raw network traffic, capturing local spatial patterns and global temporal dependencies, significantly enhancing the representation of network traffic while reducing reliance on manual feature engineering. The inductive learning module employs a dynamic routing mechanism to map sample feature vectors into robust class vector representations, achieving superior generalization when detecting unseen attack types. Compared to existing FCN–Transformer models, MFEI-IDS incorporates inductive learning to handle data imbalance and small-sample scenarios. Experiments on ISCX 2012 and CIC-IDS 2017 datasets show that MFEI-IDS outperforms mainstream IDS methods in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, excelling in cross-dataset validation and demonstrating strong generalization capabilities. These results validate the practical potential of MFEI-IDS in small-sample learning, unknown attack detection, and dynamic network environments.
