Bio-Cybersecurity: Genetic Algorithms to Detect Malicious URLs

Introduction

In the realm of computer science and cybersecurity, the fusion of biological inspiration with computational systems has opened up a new avenue of groundbreaking possibilities to solve common computational problems. During this year’s DEFCON, I was very impressed by the Biohacking village and decided to pursue a biomimicry inspired project to detect for malicious URLs using genetic algorithms. I developed a multilayer perception model optimized them with hyperparameters tailored through genetic algorithms …
