Abstract

The emergence of the modern Internet has presented numerous opportunities for attackers to profit illegally by distributing spam mail. Spam refers to irrelevant or inappropriate messages that are sent on the Internet to numerous recipients. Many researchers use many classification methods in machine learning to filter spam messages. However, more research is still needed to assess using metaheuristic optimization algorithms to classify spam emails in feature selection. In this paper, we endorse fighting spam emails by employing a union of Firefly Optimization Algorithm (FOA) and Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) algorithms to classify spam emails, along with one of the most well-known and efficient methods in this area, the Random Forest (RF) classifier. In this process, the experimental studies on the ISCX-URL2016 spam dataset yield promising results. For instance, the union of HHO and FOA, along with using an RF classifier, achieved an accuracy of 99.83% in detecting spam emails.

Abstract

Digital technology has permeated every aspect of our daily lives. Processing and evaluating information are highly demanding in all fields, including cybersecurity. Cybersecurity engineers widely use the Network Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS) to safeguard against cyberattacks. To avoid cyberattacks, the NIPS must deal with a large amount of data, which degrades its performance. This paper uses the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and the Harris Hawks optimization method (HHO) to diminish the large amount of data that the NIPS needs to deal with. Subsequently, the Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) is employed to determine the accuracy achieved when employing WOA and HHO. The GBM classifier is widely regarded as a sophisticated and straightforward classifier in data mining. Regardless of the premise of feature independence, it outperforms all other classification algorithms by delivering excellent performance. When using GBM, the findings indicate that the accuracy achieved with HHO is 89.81%, but the accuracy attained with WOA is 94.3%.
