As the Internet of Things (IoT) grows in reputation and prevalence, concerns regarding its vulnerability to cyber-attacks persist. One significant security issue affecting IoT is the presence of botnets. While several studies have utilized machine learning (ML) techniques to detect botnets, existing approaches have limitations, particularly in terms of detection accuracy. This research paper proposes an improved approach for botnet attack detection by employing optimal features by utilizing the Improved DeepMaxout approach. This methodology enhances overall efficiency and accuracy in botnet detection. The findings of this study contribute to advancing the field of IoT security by addressing the limitations of previous research and providing a more practical approach to detecting botnet attacks.
