Abstract: The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced unprecedented connectivity and convenience but also heightened the vulnerability to botnet attacks. There are an increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to the network these days, and due to the advancement in technology, the security threads and cyberattacks, such as botnets, are emerging and evolving rapidly with high-risk attacks. These attacks disrupt IoT transition by disrupting networks and services for IoT devices. Many recent studies have proposed ML and DL techniques for detecting and classifying botnet attacks in the IoT environment. This project presents a straightforward approach to detect botnet activity within IoT networks through the utilization of machine learning techniques. By analyzing network traffic patterns and employing unsupervised learning algorithms, we demonstrate an effective method to identify and mitigate botnet threats in IoT environments. By this project we intend to offer a valuable contribution in enhancing the security of IoT ecosystem.
