Abstract

Cyberattacks are becoming a more apparent danger to modern network traffic. Robust and transparent Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are increasingly needed to counter this massive wave. The emergence of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) offers a huge advantage in detecting this wave with high precision; nevertheless, they also have a downside due to their secretive nature regarding decision-making algorithms, often referred to as the “black-box” problem. Digital forensics is affected by this nature as well. As a result, XGBoost (ML) and TabNet (DL) were selected and compared based on their performance and interpretability using Explainable AI (XAI) to understand the reasoning behind their decisions with the CIC-IDS-2017 dataset in this study. Both models naturally achieved extremely high classification capabilities, with XGBoost slightly outperforming TabNet in overall detection reliability and in minimizing false negatives. The XAI evaluation additionally uncovered equally valid decision-making logic: TabNet prioritizes connection states and temporal variances, while XGBoost primarily relies on rigid volumetric payload statistics. LIME analysis also affirms that both models maintain high consistency with SHAP global explanations. In summary, XGBoost is recommended as the primary real-time detector due to its superior precision and transparent logic, while TabNet serves as a secondary validator.

Abstract

As digital devices evolve quickly and cyberattacks grow more diverse, the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem faces a much higher security risk than before. An AI-based security system is commonly used for post-attack mitigation. However, this approach has several issues, such as a high computational load, data imbalance, and a black box that does not explain the attack patterns. This study addresses a research gap by implementing a hybrid CNN-GRU architecture. With XAI, this architecture remains lightweight and robust while mapping out malicious attack patterns quite clearly. The technique breaks down these security incidents by providing both global and local explanations. This study uses two IoT datasets, BoT-IoT with 72 million records and IoTID20 with 625,783 records. The SMOTE post-split technique was performed on 80% of the total data to address data imbalance and avoid data leakage. To validate the results, stratified holdout is used to evaluate the training results. This research has very satisfying results with 99% accuracy and a 99% F1-score so that it can minimize errors in both datasets. The contributions made by this research are (1) adapting a stable model for anomaly classification, (2) handling data imbalance and avoiding data leakage, and (3) integrating SHAP and LIME to overcome black boxes.
