What we know
The study proposes an unsupervised detection system built on autoencoder-family models that learn normal traffic behavior and flag anomalies through reconstruction error (MSE), applied to multi-source metadata (Wireshark, firewall logs, and a T-Pot honeypot) collected over fifteen days from a real enterprise VLAN. The authors incorporate external threat intelligence (AbuseIPDB, OTX) and a multi-dimensional scoring system (MDSS) to convert raw detections into prioritized risk scores, and validate anomalies through two MITRE ATT&CK pipelines.
