Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant threat to the stability and reliability of online systems. Effective and early detection of such attacks is pivotal for safeguarding the integrity of networks. In this work, we introduce an enhanced approach for DDoS attack detection by leveraging the capabilities of Deep Residual Neural Networks (ResNets) coupled with synthetic oversampling techniques. Because of the inherent class imbalance in many cyber-security datasets, conventional methods often struggle with false negatives, misclassifying subtle DDoS patterns as benign. By applying the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to the CICIDS dataset, we balance the representation of benign and malicious data points, enabling the model to better discern intricate patterns indicative of an attack. Our deep residual network, tailored for this specific task, further refines the detection process. Experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate that our approach achieves an accuracy of 99.98%, significantly outperforming traditional methods. This work underscores the potential of combining advanced data augmentation techniques with deep learning models to bolster cyber-security defenses.
