Description
Summary:The research of cybercrimes, including DDoS attacks, is becoming increasingly important in the context of heightened attention to cybersecurity, protection of information and infrastructure of organizations in the modern world that rely on digital technologies and computer systems. The article argues that the use of Bayesian network models (hereinafter Bayesian networks - BN) for the analysis of cybercrimes (using distributed DDoS attacks as an example) will allow taking into account numerous variables and probabilities. This makes similar research more accurate and reliable. Using the example of BN research in the GeNIe applied software package, the process of using BN apparatus for the cybercrime investigation task related to the implementation of DDoS attacks from an attacker's computer is demonstrated. The described BN helps forensic experts in investigating such cybercrimes to identify motives and connections between attack participants, which undoubtedly improves the efficiency of investigations. The demonstration of BN application using the GeNIe modeling package, as well as the implementation of such BN in the PyCharm IDE environment, emphasizes the potential of Bayesian network models to enhance the quality of investigations, particularly those related to DDoS attacks. The description of the Python language software implementation of such BN proposed in the article aims to improve the efficiency of similar tools, making it more practical-oriented and providing new opportunities for the analysis of cybercrimes associated with DDoS attacks. It is shown that the development of such software opens the way for deeper analysis and understanding of such cybercrimes, which is an important step in combating them. Therefore, the development of such software (SW) is a promising direction in the field of cybersecurity, emphasizing its relevance and significance in the modern digital world.
