Abstract
Botnet is one of the major security threats in the field of information technology today (IT). The increase in the rate of attack on industrial IT infrastructures, theft of personal data and attacks on financial information is becoming critical. Majority of available dataset for botnet detection are very old and may not be able to stand the present reality in this research area. One of the latest dataset from Canadian Institute of Cyber Security labeled “CICIDS2017” was noted as an imbalance data distribution ratio of 99% to 1%. This distribution represents majority to minority class ratio. This may pose a challenge of over-fitting in majority class to the research and create a bias in the analysis of results. This research work has adopted J48 decision tree machine learning algorithm with application of SMOTE technique in solving the problem of imbalance dataset, thereby leading to an improved detection of botnets. The accuracy of the highest scenario was 99.95%. This is a significant improvement in detection rate compare to the previous research work.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
