摘要

As cyber threats evolve, detecting botnet activities remains a critical challenge for digital ecosystem security. This research thoroughly investigates botnet detection techniques, introducing a novel stack-based ensemble model. Utilizing decision trees, random forests, XGBoost, and LightGBM as base learners, with a decision tree as the meta-learner, the ensemble demonstrates promising results in enhancing accuracy and resilience. The Stacking Ensemble Model achieved a high accuracy of 99.2%, with corresponding recall and F1 score values of 99.2% and 98.2%, respectively.
