Abstract

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced significant security
challenges, particularly insider attacks that exploit authorized access to compromise
network integrity. Traditional methods for detecting such threats are often cloud-
dependent, leading to latency issues, reduced efficiency, and potential data breaches
during transmission. This project proposes an edge-based anomaly detection system
leveraging machine learning techniques to address these challenges.
The proposed system focuses on real-time detection of insider threats by
processing data locally on edge devices. Machine learning models are trained to
identify anomalous behavior patterns in IoT devices, enabling early detection and
prevention of potential attacks. By deploying the detection mechanism at the edge,
the system minimizes reliance on centralized cloud systems, thereby reducing
latency and enhancing data privacy.
The project involves designing a robust framework that includes data
preprocessing, feature extraction, and implementation of supervised machine
learning algorithms. Results from experimental evaluations demonstrate that the
proposed approach achieves high accuracy in anomaly detection with low latency,
making it suitable for real-world IoT environments. This work contributes to
enhancing IoT security by providing a scalable and efficient solution for insider
attack prevention.

Chapter 1

Introduction

1.1 Background
The background outlines the context in which the project is conducted. It provides
information about the broader field (e.g., IoT security, anomaly detection, or insider
attacks) and its significance in today’s world.
Example for your project:
With the proliferation of IoT devices in critical sectors like healthcare, smart homes,
and industries, ensuring their security is paramount. Insider threats, often caused by
malicious or accidental actions from trusted individuals, pose a significant challenge
to IoT networks. Existing security systems are insufficient due to IoT’s resource-
constrained nature and the complexity of insider attacks. The use of machine learning
to detect anomalies can address these issues effectively.

1.1.1 Importance and Role of the Topic

This subsection highlights why this specific topic (anomaly detection for insider
attack prevention in IoT) is critical. It explains its practical implications and role in
improving cybersecurity.
IoT devices often lack robust security, making them vulnerable to both external and
internal attacks. Insider threats are harder to detect since they come from trusted
sources within the network. Early detection of anomalies can minimize damage,
ensuring uninterrupted services and user trust. Developing a lightweight, efficient
detection system can fill a critical gap in IoT security infrastructure.

1.2 Challenges
Resource Constraints: IoT devices have limited computational power and storage,
making it difficult to implement resource-intensive algorithms. Data Complexity:
Large-scale, heterogeneous, and noisy IoT data make it challenging to detect
meaningful patterns. Insider Threats: Unlike external attacks, insider threats are
subtle and harder to identify. Scalability: The solution must work effectively across
diverse IoT environments with varying scales and configurations. Real-Time
Detection: Timely identification of threats is essential to prevent damage, adding to
the complexity.

1.3 Aim and Motivation

1.3.1 Aims

To design and implement a machine learning-based anomaly detection system capable

of identifying insider attacks in IoT networks. To ensure the system is lightweight
and scalable for deployment on resource-constrained IoT devices.

1.3.2 Research Motivation

Academic Interest: An opportunity to explore advanced topics in cybersecurity and

machine learning. Industry Relevance: Growing incidents of insider attacks in IoT
systems highlight an urgent need for effective solutions. Social Impact: Enhancing
IoT security can protect critical infrastructure and improve public trust in IoT
technologies.

1.4 Problem Statement

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the volume of data generated
by connected devices increases dramatically, leading to a growing demand for
efficient data processing and security measures. However, traditional centralized
approaches to data management in IoT systems face significant limitations,
including resource constraints, latency issues, and vulnerabilities to cyberattacks.

Department of CSE-ICB 2
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

These centralized systems are particularly susceptible to insider threats, where

individuals with authorized access can manipulate or compromise sensitive data
without detection. Current anomaly detection mechanisms often rely on centralized
architectures that cannot effectively identify sophisticated insider threats, resulting
in potential data breaches and loss of integrity. Additionally, the inherent challenges
of ensuring data privacy and security in a centralized system create further risks for
organizations relying on IoT technology. To address these issues, there is a critical
need for a novel framework that integrates blockchain technology and edge
computing to create a decentralized anomaly detection system. This framework
aims to leverage the strengths of edge computing to minimize latency and
bandwidth usage by processing data closer to the source while ensuring the integrity
and immutability of data through blockchain. By employing advanced machine
learning algorithms, the system can continuously learn and adapt to normal
behavior patterns, thereby enhancing its ability to detect anomalies indicative of
insider threats in real-time. Our work aims to develop a comprehensive solution that
not only mitigates the risks associated with insider threats but also improves the
overall security and efficiency of IoT systems through innovative applications of
decentralized technologies.

1.5 Objectives of the Study

Analyze the characteristics of insider threats in IoT networks. Develop a machine
learning-based anomaly detection model optimized for IoT. Ensure the model is
lightweight, scalable, and efficient for resource-constrained devices. Validate the
model’s performance using real-world IoT data.

or devices) are emerging as one of the most challenging issues. Insider threats can be
difficult to detect due to the trusted access of these entities, often bypassing traditional
security measures.
Challenges of Insider Threats:
Insider threats can lead to significant damage, such as data breaches, system
manipulations, and loss of sensitive information, especially in sectors like healthcare
and industrial automation. Detecting these threats requires more sophisticated
methods beyond traditional security measures.
Machine Learning (ML) for Anomaly Detection:
Machine learning-based anomaly detection techniques have gained traction in recent
years, offering promising solutions to detect unusual behavior within IoT networks.
These techniques can identify hidden patterns or subtle deviations from normal
network activity that might indicate an insider threat.

Department of CSE-ICB 5
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

Current Research Landscape:

There has been significant progress in ML and anomaly detection techniques, but
many IoT systems still face challenges in achieving real-time, scalable, and accurate
threat detection. Existing studies focus on either external threats or data-driven
anomaly detection models, with limited attention on hybrid approaches combining
multiple technologies.
Research Gaps:
Many existing IoT security solutions struggle with scalability in resource-constrained
environments or rely heavily on labeled data for training, which is often unavailable for
insider threats. There is a need for more adaptive, lightweight, and privacy-preserving
anomaly detection models, especially for IoT environments with limited resources.
Project Objective:
This project aims to fill these gaps by integrating advanced machine learning
techniques (e.g., unsupervised learning, edge computing, blockchain) to develop a
more efficient and scalable solution for insider threat detection in IoT systems.

3.3 System Architecture

3.3.1 Frontend User Interface

This is the user-facing part of the system where users (admins or general users) interact
with the CNIDS. Through this interface, users can view alerts, manage settings, and
track the status of their accounts. The UI could display real-time information about
network traffic, attack status, and IP blocking activities. It helps in visualizing alerts
and triggering responses.

3.3.2 SMTP Email Server

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Email Server is used to send email
notifications to users and administrators. When suspicious activities such as brute
force attempts or DDoS attacks are detected, the CNIDS sends automatic alerts to
designated recipients via email, providing them with timely information about the
attack. This ensures that the concerned parties are informed immediately for quick
action.

3.3.3 Alert and Response

The Alert and Response module manages how the system responds to detected
security events. Upon identifying an intrusion attempt (like multiple failed logins or
unusual traffic patterns), this module triggers alerts, sends notifications, and starts
an automated response. The response could include blocking the attacker’s IP or
taking further action based on predefined rules.

3.3.4 Database

The Database is responsible for storing information related to network traffic, alerts,
blocked IP addresses, and user actions. It helps keep track of all activities within the
system, enabling further analysis, reporting, and auditing. The database also stores
logs of attacks and the actions taken to mitigate them, which is useful for future
reference and troubleshooting.

Department of CSE-ICB 11
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

3.3.5 Backend Detection System

The Backend Detection System continuously monitors network traffic and analyzes
it for abnormal patterns. It uses algorithms to detect potential threats such as brute
force, DDoS attacks, and other malicious behavior. This system plays a crucial role
in identifying whether there is any suspicious activity occurring on the network,
triggering alerts, and taking appropriate actions like blocking attackers’ IPs.

3.3.6 Network Monitor

The Network Monitor is responsible for overseeing the entire network’s traffic in real-
time. It collects data about the volume of traffic, the sources of traffic, and other
network characteristics. This data is analyzed to detect signs of a network intrusion
or attack. The monitor helps in identifying unusual patterns, such as a sudden spike
in requests, which might indicate a DDoS attack or brute force attempt.

3.3.7 Network

The network refers to the actual infrastructure where the system operates. It
encompasses the servers, routers, firewalls, and other devices that manage
communication between computers. In the context of CNIDS, the network is the
environment that is being protected from potential cyber-attacks by monitoring
traffic and applying responses to threats.

Design Methodology

5.1 UML Diagram Design Methodology

The UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram design methodology involves
systematic steps to visually represent the system’s structure, behavior, and
interaction. Below are the stages of the UML design methodology:
Requirements Analysis Objective: Understand the functional and non-functional
requirements of the system. Identify key stakeholders (IoT devices, administrators,
users, and edge computing nodes).
Define the scope: Real-time anomaly detection, prevention of insider threats, and
edge-based data processing.
Analyze workflows: Data collection, anomaly detection, attack prevention, and
system updates.
Outcome: A clear list of use cases and system functionalities that will form the basis
of the UML diagrams.
The following types of UML diagrams are employed to represent different aspects:

Implementation

6.1 Boto Module

import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import NoCredentialsError

The boto3 library is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit
(SDK) for Python, which allows you to interact with AWS services
programmatically. It includes various modules to manage resources such as S3, EC2,
DynamoDB, CloudWatch, and many others. The
botocore.exceptions.NoCredentialsError is an exception raised when AWS
credentials are not found or cannot be retrieved. This typically happens when the
application is trying to access AWS services without valid credentials configured in
the environment.
Here’s a brief explanation of the two imports:

ˆ import boto3

– boto3 is used to interact with AWS services.

– It requires valid AWS credentials to authenticate requests to AWS services.

– Credentials can be provided through environment variables, AWS

configuration files, or by attaching an IAM role to an EC2 instance or
Lambda function.

ˆ from botocore.exceptions.NoCredentialsError

Department of CSE-ICB 21
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

– NoCredentialsError is a specific exception under the botocore module (a

dependency of boto3).

– It is raised when boto3 cannot find any credentials for authenticating AWS
requests.

6.2 CloudWatch Handler

class CloudWatchLogHandler(logging.Handler):
def __init__(self, log_group, log_stream):
super().__init__()
self.log_group = log_group
self.log_stream = log_stream
self.sequence_token = None

def emit(self, record):

log_entry = self.format(record)
timestamp = int(time.time() * 1000) % CloudWatch expects timestamp in mill
log_event = {
"logGroupName": self.log_group,
"logStreamName": self.log_stream,
"logEvents": [{"timestamp": timestamp, "message": log_entry}],
}
if self.sequence_token:
log_event["sequenceToken"] = self.sequence_token
try:
response = cloudwatch_client.put_log_events(**log_event)
self.sequence_token = response["nextSequenceToken"]
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to send log to CloudWatch: {e}")

This handler is set to write logs to the specified CloudWatch Log Group.

ˆ Log Stream: app-logs-stream. Logs are categorized under the specified Log
Stream within the Log Group.

Department of CSE-ICB 22
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

ˆ Initialization: The handler initializes with a log group and log stream and sets
a None sequence token for the first log.

ˆ Time Format: Log timestamps are converted to milliseconds to meet

CloudWatch requirements.

ˆ Log Event Construction: Each log record is converted into a structured

JSON object containing a timestamp and message.

ˆ Sequence Management: A sequence token ensures that logs are appended in

the correct order. The token is updated after each successful log submission.

ˆ Error Handling: If log submission fails, the handler captures the error and
prints a message for debugging.

ˆ CloudWatch Integration: The handler interacts with AWS CloudWatch Logs

using the boto3 library.

ˆ Scalability: This setup is suitable for scalable applications where centralized

log management is required.

ˆ Proactive Monitoring: Logs sent to CloudWatch can trigger alerts and

provide insights into application performance and issues.

6.3 Blocking IP Address

def add_blocked_ip(ip_address, otp):
try:
logger.debug(f"Adding blocked IP {ip_address} with OTP {otp}")
conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(
"INSERT OR REPLACE INTO blocked_ips (ip_address, blocked_time, otp, otp
(ip_address, int(time.time()), otp, int(time.time()), len(failed_attemp
)
conn.commit()

Department of CSE-ICB 23
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

conn.close()
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Failed to add blocked IP {ip_address} to database: {e}")

This function attempts to add or update a record in a blocked ips table within a
SQLite database. It records the IP address, the current time as the block time, an
OTP, the OTP’s sent time, and the number of failed attempts.

6.4 Sending Alerts

def send_alert_email(subject, body):
try:
msg = MIMEText(body)
msg[’Subject’] = subject
msg[’From’] = sender_email
msg[’To’] = receiver_email
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL(’smtp.gmail.com’, 465) as smtp_server:
smtp_server.login(sender_email, email_password)
smtp_server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, msg.as_string())
logger.info("Alert email sent!")
except smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError as e:
logger.error(f"Authentication failed: {e}")
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Failed to send alert email: {e}")

The send alert email function is designed to send an alert email using SMTP over

Advantages and Limitation

9.1 Advantages
1. Real-Time Threat Detection: Performs anomaly detection at the edge (on
IoT devices), allowing quick detection and mitigation of insider attacks in real-
time, reducing the risk of damage.

2. Improved Security: Utilizes machine learning for anomaly detection, enabling

more accurate identification of insider threats compared to traditional rule-based
systems. The system continuously learns and adapts to new legitimate behavior
patterns, making it harder for attackers to bypass detection.

3. Reduced Latency: Edge computing lowers the need to send data to a central
server, reducing latency in detecting suspicious activities. This allows for quicker
responses and minimizes potential damage from insider threats.

4. Scalability: As the IoT environment expands, the edge-based system can easily
scale to handle more devices without overloading centralized systems.

5. Low Bandwidth Consumption: Since data processing happens at the edge,

only relevant data or events are sent to the cloud, conserving bandwidth and
reducing costs.

6. Enhanced Privacy: Processing sensitive data locally ensures confidential

information stays on the device, improving privacy and compliance with data
protection regulations.

Department of CSE-ICB 32
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

7. Reduced Centralized Infrastructure Dependency: Decreases reliance on

centralized cloud infrastructure, making the system more resilient and less
vulnerable to central system failures or attacks.

8. Adaptability to Evolving Attacks: The machine learning model evolves

with new insider threat techniques, improving detection accuracy over time as
more data is gathered.

9. Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for expensive centralized hardware by

distributing data processing across edge devices. Low bandwidth usage and
real-time processing further lower operational costs.

10. Proactive Threat Prevention: Identifies unusual behavior at the earliest

stage, enabling preemptive action to prevent escalation of insider attacks.

9.2 Limitations
1. Resource Constraints at the Edge: IoT devices, especially in low-cost
deployments, have limited computational resources (CPU, memory, storage),
which can impact the performance and complexity of machine learning models.
Balancing model accuracy with resource consumption is challenging, as
advanced models require more processing power.

2. Data Privacy Concerns: Although edge computing enhances privacy by

processing data locally, there is still a risk of data leakage or misuse if
device-level security measures are inadequate. Sensitive data might need to be
sent to the cloud for analysis or storage, exposing it to potential
vulnerabilities.

3. Model Accuracy and False Positives: Machine learning models may

generate false positives, triggering alerts for non-malicious behavior. This can
lead to unnecessary investigations or disruptions. Not all detected anomalies
indicate an insider threat, which can cause inefficiencies and resource wastage.

4. Limited Training Data for Anomaly Detection: The effectiveness of the

model relies on the quality and quantity of training data. Obtaining sufficient

Department of CSE-ICB 33
Anamoly detection for Insider Attack 2024-2025

labeled data for insider threat detection can be difficult. Without adequate
training, the system may struggle to detect new or previously unseen threats.

5. Device Heterogeneity: IoT devices vary widely in specifications, capabilities,

and operating systems. Designing a solution that works universally requires
significant effort. Differences in hardware may impact the uniform performance
of anomaly detection models.

6. Integration Complexity: Integrating an edge-based anomaly detection

system into existing IoT infrastructure can be complex. It may require
significant effort for device management, software updates, and compatibility
checks, especially if legacy devices are involved.

7. Limited Cloud Interaction for Deep Learning Models: Edge-based

systems are suitable for real-time analysis, but complex deep learning models
may still require cloud resources. This hybrid approach increases system
complexity and creates a dependency on both edge and cloud infrastructure.

8. Security of Edge Devices: Edge devices are potential targets for attackers.
If compromised, the entire system may be at risk. Ensuring security patches,
physical protection, and remote management of edge devices can be challenging
in distributed networks.

9. Model Retraining Challenges: As IoT environments evolve, models need

continuous retraining with new data. Updating models across many devices
can be difficult due to network limitations and resource constraints. Managing
model drift and maintaining performance is critical but challenging.

10. Cost of Deployment and Maintenance: While edge computing reduces

bandwidth costs, the initial investment in infrastructure and ongoing
maintenance can be significant. Continuous monitoring, updates, and security
patching may increase operational costs.
