With the ubiquitous network applications and the continuous development of network attack technology, all social circles have paid close attention to the cyberspace security. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) plays a very important role in ensuring computer and communication systems security. Recently, deep learning has achieved a great success in the field of intrusion detection. However, the high computational complexity poses a major hurdle for the practical deployment of DL-based models. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on a lightweight deep neural network (LNN) for IDS. We design a lightweight unit that can fully extract data features while reducing the computational burden by expanding and compressing feature maps. In addition, we use inverse residual structure and channel shuffle operation to achieve more effective training. Experiment results show that our proposed model for intrusion detection not only reduces the computational cost by 61.99% and the model size by 58.84%, but also achieves satisfactory accuracy and detection rate.

Botnet has been evolving over time since its birth. Nowadays, P2P (Peer-to-Peer) botnet has become a main threat to cyberspace security, owing to its strong concealment and easy expansibility. In order to effectively detect P2P botnet, researchers often focus on the analysis of network traffic. For the sake of enriching P2P botnet detection methods, the author puts forward a new sight of applying distributed threat intelligence sharing system to P2P botnet detection. This system aims to fight against distributed botnet by using distributed methods itself, and then to detect botnet in real time. To fulfill the goal of botnet detection, there are 3 important parts: the threat intelligence sharing and evaluating system, the BAV quantitative TI model, and the AHP and HMM based analysis algorithm. Theoretically, this method should work on different types of distributed cyber threat besides P2P botnet.
