Artificial intelligence-driven cybersecurity: enhancing malicious domain detection using attention-based deep learning model with optimization algorithms

Abstract Malicious domains are one of the main resources mandatory for adversaries to run attacks over the Internet. Owing to the significant part of the domain name system (DNS), detailed research has been performed to detect malicious fields according to their unique behaviour, which is considered...
