The paper benchmarks static embedding models—Word2Vec, FastText, and Doc2Vec—for detecting anomalous HTTP requests using a single‑class classification framework. It introduces HEDA, a modular pipeline that trains both embeddings and detectors solely on benign traffic in an unsupervised setting. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets show that FastText embeddings consistently yield high detection rates with controlled false positives.

A novel phishing URL detection system is introduced that employs a first-order Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy inference model optimized via gradient-based techniques, specifically using the Adam optimizer. The framework combines fuzzy logic’s interpretability with gradient optimization’s precision, achieving an average accuracy of 99.95% and a perfect AUC of 1.00 across 5 cross-validation folds on a dataset of over 235,000 URLs. The optimized fuzzy rules and membership functions provide clear decision pathways, enhancing transparency for cybersecurity applications.

arXiv:2504. 01882v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The use of DNS over HTTPS (DoH) tunneling by an attacker to hide malicious activity within encrypted DNS traffic poses a serious threat to network security, as it allows malicious actors to bypass traditional monitoring and intrusion detection systems while evading detection by conventional traffic analysis techniques.
