An Analysis of Android Malware and IoT Attack Detection with Machine Learning
Author
Abstract

The term Internet of Things(IoT) describes a network of real-world items, gadgets, structures, and other things that are equipped with communication and sensors for gathering and exchanging data online. The likelihood of Android malware attacks on IoT devices has risen due to their widespread use. Regular security precautions might not be practical for these devices because they frequently have limited resources. The detection of malware attacks on IoT environments has found hope in ML approaches. In this paper, some machine learning(ML) approaches have been utilized to detect IoT Android malware threats. This method uses a collection of Android malware samples and good apps to build an ML model. Using the Android Malware dataset, many ML techniques, including Naive Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF), are used to detect malware in IoT. The accuracy of the DT model is 95\%, which is the highest accuracy rate, while that of the NB, KNN, and RF models have accuracy rates of 84\%, 89\%, and 92\%, respectively.
