Summary: | The rapid growth of computer networks has heightened system vulnerabilities, challenging traditional Machine Learning (ML) techniques in network anomaly detection due to the abundance of data, imbalanced attack classes, and large-scale datasets. This paper introduces a novel approach leveraging the AWID3 dataset, utilizing advanced preprocessing techniques such as data splitting and normalization. We propose the Mountaineering Team-Based Optimization (MTBO) algorithm for robust feature selection, inspired by social behavior and human collaboration. Additionally, we deploy a Quad-LSTM framework, integrating ConvLSTM, CNN-LSTM, E3D-LSTM, and SAConvLSTM models, fine-tuned by the Technical and Vocational Education and Training-Based Optimizer (TVETBO). Our approach achieves a remarkable 99.91 % accuracy, significantly surpassing existing models, thus enhancing network security by effectively addressing the complexities of anomaly detection. |
