Vicious assaults, malware, and various ransomware pose a cybersecurity threat, causing considerable damage to computer structures, servers, and mobile and web apps across various industries and businesses. These safety concerns are important and must be addressed immediately. Ransomware detection and classification are critical for guaranteeing rapid reaction and prevention. This study uses the XGBoost classifier and Random Forest (RF) algorithms to detect and classify ransomware attacks. This approach involves analyzing the behaviour of ransomware and extracting relevant features that can help distinguish between different ransomware families. The models are evaluated on a dataset of ransomware attacks and demonstrate their effectiveness in accurately detecting and classifying ransomware. The results show that the XGBoost classifier, Random Forest Classifiers, can effectively detect and classify different ransomware attacks with high accuracy, thereby providing a valuable tool for enhancing cybersecurity.

Sentiment analysis of social media data is an emerging field with vast applications in various domains. In this study, we developed a sentiment analysis model to analyze social media sentiment, especially tweets, during global conflicting scenarios. To establish our research experiment, we identified a recent global dispute incident on Twitter and collected around 31,000 filtered Tweets for several months to analyze human sentiment worldwide.

Thermal images have various applications in security, medical and industrial domains. This paper proposes a practical deep-learning approach for thermal image classification. Accurate and efficient classification of thermal images poses a significant challenge across various fields due to the complex image content and the scarcity of annotated datasets. This work uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, specifically ResNet-50 and VGGNet-19, to extract features from thermal images. This work also applied Kalman filter on thermal input images for image denoising. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
