description With the continuous increase in Internet of Things (IoT) device usage, more interest has been shown in internet security, specifically focusing on protecting these vulnerable devices from malicious traffic. Such threats are difficult to distinguish, so an advanced intrusion detection system (IDS) is becoming necessary. Machine learning (ML) is one of the promising techniques as a smart IDS in different areas, including IoT. However, the input to ML models should be extracted from the IoT environment by feature extraction models, which play a significant role in the detection rate and accuracy. Therefore, this research aims to introduce a study on ML-based IDS in IoT, considering different feature extraction algorithms with several ML models. This study evaluated several feature extractors, including image filters and transfer learning models, such as VGG-16 and DenseNet. Additionally, several machine learning algorithms, including random forest, K-nearest neighbors, SVM, and different stacked models were assessed considering all the explored feature extraction algorithms. The study presented a detailed evaluation of all combined models using the IEEE Dataport dataset. Results showed that VGG-16 combined with stacking resulted in the highest accuracy of 98.3%.
