摘要

Securing Internet of Things (IoT) systems has become increasingly challenging due to the rapid evolution of cyber-attacks. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) play a vital role in safeguarding networks against diverse threats and vulnerabilities; however, challenges related to class imbalance and computational efficiency persist. In this study, we propose a hybrid IDS framework that integrates the Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) for optimized feature selection with Adaptive Synthetic Sampling (ADASYN) to address class imbalance and a machine learning (ML) model to classify genuine traffic from attacks. We evaluated the framework using Bagging, Gradient Boosting (GB), LightGBM (LGBM), and Random Forest (RF) classifiers. The experimental results indicate that the RF-HSA-ADASYN approach is more accurate than baseline methods, achieving 96.92 ± 0.18% accuracy on UNSW-NB15 and 99.94 ± 0.03% accuracy on CIC-IoT23, significantly outperforming the state-of-the-art models. The proposed framework systematically integrates statistical validation using ANOVA in conjunction with inference time analysis to ensure both analytical rigor and computational efficiency. The framework offers a promising solution for real-time threat detection in dynamic network environments while maintaining adaptability to evolving attack vectors.
