| contents | In recent years, the clandestine nature of darknet activities has presented an escalating challenge to cybersecurity efforts, necessitating sophisticated methods for the detection and classification of network traffic associated with these covert operations. The system addresses the significant challenge of class imbalance within Darknet traffic datasets, where malicious traffic constitutes a minority, hindering effective discrimination between normal and malicious behavior. By leveraging boosting algorithms like AdaBoost and Gradient Boosting coupled with decision trees, this study proposes a robust solution for network traffic classification. Boosting algorithms ensemble learning corrects errors iteratively and assigns higher weights to minority class instances, complemented by the hierarchical structure of decision trees. The additional Feature Selection which is a preprocessing method by utilizing Information Gain metrics, Fisher's Score, and Chi-Square test selection for features is employed. Rigorous experimentation with diverse Darknet traffic datasets validates the efficacy of the proposed multistage classifier, evaluated through various performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, offering a comprehensive solution for accurate detection and classification of Darknet activities. |
