Abstract
A computing system is configured to train a machine-learning model for detecting suspicious network activities based on a training dataset. The training of the machine-learning model may be supervised or unsupervised training. The training dataset includes multiple strings. For each of the multiple strings, the computing system extracts one or more N-grams substrings, where N is a natural number that is equal to or greater than 2. The computing system then determines a probability of each N-grams substring that may occur in a string. When the machine-learning model is executed, it is configured to classify whether a given string contained in network communication is a random string. In response to classifying that the given string is a random string, an alert is generated at a particular computing system to which the network communication is directed.
