MQTTFlowLyzer: interpretable TabNet-based flow-level MQTT intrusion detection for IoT MQTT is widely used in IoT systems but remains vulnerable due to its lightweight design. This paper proposes an interpretable deep learning-based intrusion detection framework that processes raw PCAP data through flow-based analysis. It introduces MQTTFlowLyzer for extracting protocol-aware features and presents the BCCC-IoT-MQTT-IDS-2025 dataset, which […]

New Dataset Alert! (BCCC-MalMem-SnapLog-2025)

Malware Memory Snapshot and process-level behavioral Log Dataset (BCCC-MalMem-SnapLog-2025) The dataset was systematically developed to capture memory-level behavioral dynamics of malware and benign processes through interval-based snapshot analysis. Unlike prior datasets that predominantly rely on static binaries or network-level observations, this dataset focuses on runtime memory behavior and process persistence, enabling a deeper understanding of how malicious activities […]
