Lobna Osman One of the most significant uses of the Internet of Things is military infiltration detection (IoT). Autonomous drones play a major role in IoT-based vulnerability scanning (UVs). By relocating UVs remotely, this work introduces a new algorithm called the Moth-Flame Optimization Algorithm (MFO). In particular, MFO is used to proactively manage UVs under various scenarios and under different intrusion-covering situations. According to actual studies, the suggested algorithm is both profitable and efficient. 2022 2022 31 41 10.54216/JCIM.090203 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/2/show/1107
