Researchers have developed an adaptive port-scan evasion technique using a Deep Q-Network (DQN) to challenge machine learning-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) deployed on resource-constrained devices like the Raspberry Pi 3B+. The study found that while static IDS models achieve high detection rates against conventional scans, the DQN adversary could evade them effectively by learning optimal probe timing, TCP flags, and payload sizes. The evasion success varied significantly depending on the feature visibility available to the attacker and the specific IDS model being targeted, indicating a need for more robust defenses in IoT edge environments.
