| Summary: | Several malware variants have attacked systems and data over time. Ransomware is among the most harmful malware since it causes huge losses. In order to get a ransom, ransomware is software that locks the victim’s machine or encrypts his personal information. Numerous research has been conducted to stop and quickly recognize ransomware attacks. For proactive forecasting, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are used. Traditional machine learning/deep learning (ML/DL) techniques, however, take a lot of time and decrease the accuracy and latency performance of network monitoring. In this study, we utilized the Hoeffding trees classifier as one of the stream data mining classification techniques to detect and prevent ransomware attacks. Three Hoeffding trees classifier algorithms are selected to be applied to the Resilient Information Systems Security (RISS) research group dataset. After configuration, Massive Online Analysis (MOA) software is utilized as a testing framework. The results of Hoeffding tree classifier algorithms are then assessed to choose the enhanced model with the highest accuracy and latency performance. In conclusion, the 99.41% classification accuracy was the highest result achieved by the EFDT algorithm in 66 ms.
