Proactive DDoS Detection and Mitigation in Decentralized Software-Defined Networking via Port-Level Monitoring and Zero-Training Large Language Models
Swileh, Mohammed N., Zhang, Shengli
Centralized Software-Defined Networking (cSDN) offers flexible and programmable control of networks but suffers from scalability and reliability issues due to its reliance on centralized controllers. Decentralized SDN (dSDN) alleviates these concerns by distributing control across multiple local controllers, yet this architecture remains highly vulnerable to Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel detection and mitigation framework tailored for dSDN environments. The framework leverages lightweight port-level statistics combined with prompt engineering and in-context learning, enabling the DeepSeek-v3 Large Language Model (LLM) to classify traffic as benign or malicious without requiring fine-tuning or retraining. Once an anomaly is detected, mitigation is enforced directly at the attacker's port, ensuring that malicious traffic is blocked at their origin while normal traffic remains unaffected. An automatic recovery mechanism restores normal operation after the attack inactivity, ensuring both security and availability. Experimental evaluation under diverse DDoS attack scenarios demonstrates that the proposed approach achieves near-perfect detection, with 99.99% accuracy, 99.97% precision, 100% recall, 99.98% F1-score, and an AUC of 1.0. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining distributed monitoring with zero-training LLM inference, providing a proactive and scalable defense mechanism for securing dSDN infrastructures against DDoS threats.

Tornado hits Paris suburbs leaving one dead
A tornado tore through Val-d'Oise, north of Paris, on Monday, toppling construction cranes, damaging properties and uprooting trees in its path. One person was killed and four others critically injured, authorities said. The town of Ermont, about 20 km (13 miles) northeast of Paris was hardest hit by the sudden twister, which caused damage in multiple districts. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on the X social media platform that it had been a storm of rare intensity. Drone footage shows blaze destroying the historic Bernaga Monastery in Italy.

BBC at scene of 'brazen' Louvre jewel theft
BBC at scene of'brazen' Louvre jewel theft A manhunt is under way for a gang of thieves who carried out a broad daylight raid on Paris's Louvre Museum, and stole jewels described as priceless. The gang appear to have used a mechanical ladder to reach a first-floor window, before breaking into display cases and escaping on motorbikes. The BBC's Hugh Schofield is outside the museum where the extraordinary, daring and brazen robbery took place. Drone footage shows blaze destroying the historic Bernaga Monastery in Italy.

Watch: Fire at historic Italian monastery
Drone footage has emerged showing a blaze destroying the historic Bernaga Monastery in Italy. Founded in La Valletta Brianza in 1628, it is located about 30km (19 miles) east of Milan. More than 20 cloistered nuns were evacuated from the scene, according to Italian media reports. Could a Corrie cameo be on the cards for Daniel O'Donnell? Daniel O'Donnell said making a cameo on Coronation Street is on his bucket list.

The DOGE Subcommittee Hearing on Weather Modification Was a Nest of Conspiracy Theorizing
A House Oversight Committee hearing produced a flood of bizarre claims about cloud seeding, chemtrails, and solar geoengineering. Proven, human-driven changes to the weather were dismissed. "What this whole debate comes down to is who controls the skies," Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia told the audience at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday. "Do we believe in God and that he has dominion over his perfect creation of planet Earth? Do we believe that he has given us everything we need to survive as a civilization since the beginning of time? Or do you believe in man's claim of authority over the weather, based on scientists that have only been alive for decades and weren't here to witness the climate changes since the beginning of time?"
