CANDefender – Fuzzy Attack Detection Model
Model Summary
This model detects Fuzzy attacks on the CAN bus. It was trained on 4.73 million real CAN frames, including normal data and Fuzzy-labeled data. The model uses an LSTM architecture that processes the CAN ID and 8-byte payload to classify each frame as either “Fuzzy” or “Normal.”
Performance
Test Accuracy: ~94.09%
Confusion Matrix (Fuzzy vs. Normal):
True \ Pred | Fuzzy (pred) | Normal (pred) |
---|---|---|
Fuzzy | 3,737,645 | 13,379 |
Normal | 266,808 | 722,063 |
- Recall (Fuzzy): ~99.6% (very few Fuzzy frames missed)
- Recall (Normal): ~73% (about 27% false positives on Normal)
Intended Use
- Goal: Real-time detection of Fuzzy attacks on the CAN bus.
- Limitations:
- Focused on Fuzzy vs. Normal classification only (other attacks handled in separate models).
- Tends to misclassify ~27% of normal frames as Fuzzy (relatively high false alarms).
How to Use
import torch
import numpy as np
from can_defender_fuzzy import CANLSTM # Adjust import name
# Example frame => [CAN_ID, b0..b7]
frame = [0x315, 0x12, 0x4F, 0xA2, 0x00, 0x00, 0x78, 0x1C, 0xAA]
x_np = np.array(frame, dtype=np.float32).reshape(1,1,9)
model = CANLSTM(input_dim=9, hidden_dim=64, num_classes=2)
model.load_state_dict(torch.load("can_lstm_model_final.pt"))
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
logits = model(torch.from_numpy(x_np))
pred = torch.argmax(logits, dim=1).item()
print("Prediction:", "Fuzzy" if pred == 0 else "Normal")
Training Configuration
- Architecture: LSTM (64 hidden units), final linear layer → 2 classes (Fuzzy vs. Normal)
- Optimizer: Adam (lr=1e-3)
- Epochs: ~30 (stopped once performance stabilized)
- Dataset: 4.73 million CAN frames
Limitations & Next Steps
- False Positives: ~27% of normal frames get labeled as Fuzzy. Acceptable for high-sensitivity scenarios, but can be improved (weighted loss, time-window approach, etc.).
- Scope: Only focuses on Fuzzy detection. Other attacks (DoS, Gear, RPM) are separate.
Potential Enhancements:
- Weighted training or additional features (delta-time, frequency)
- Window-based LSTM or transformers for sequence data
