An empirical comparison of botnet detection methods [PDF]

open access: yesComputers and Security, 2014
The results of botnet detection methods are usually presented without any comparison. Although it is generally accepted that more comparisons with third-party methods may help to improve the area, few papers could do it. Among the factors that prevent a comparison are the difficulties to share a dataset, the lack of a good dataset, the absence of a ...

A botnet detection game

2014 52nd Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing (Allerton), 2014
Botnets continue to constitute a major security threat to users of the internet. We examine a novel security game between a bot master and the legitimate users of the compromised network. The more a bot master utilizes his botnet, the more likely it is he will be detected by the legitimate users of the network.

Botnets and their detection techniques

2020 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC), 2020
Botnet is considered a dangerous threat that could harm internet users as it makes the compromised host becomes under the control of the botmaster and follow its commands to perform a wide range of malicious activities such as distributed denial of service (DDOS), spamming, identity theft, click fraud, and phishing attacks.

Detecting encrypted botnet traffic

2013 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS), 2013
Bot detection methods that rely on deep packet inspection (DPI) can be foiled by encryption. Encryption, however, increases entropy. This paper investigates whether adding high-entropy detectors to an existing bot detection tool that uses DPI can restore some of the bot visibility. We present two high-entropy classifiers, and use one of them to enhance

Detecting and destroying botnets

Network Security, 2016
Due to their limitless size and capacity, botnets are among the most powerful components of a modern cyber-criminal's arsenal of attack techniques. They are made up of compromised workstations distributed over the public Internet that leverage the untapped processing power of a multitude of endpoints, usually to accomplish a malicious agenda.

A Taxonomy of Botnet Behavior, Detection, and Defense

IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials, 2014
A number of detection and defense mechanisms have emerged in the last decade to tackle the botnet phenomenon. It is important to organize this knowledge to better understand the botnet problem and its solution space. In this paper, we structure existing botnet literature into three comprehensive taxonomies of botnet behavioral features, detection and ...

An efficient botnet detection system for P2P botnet

2016 International Conference on Wireless Communications, Signal Processing and Networking (WiSPNET), 2016
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) botnets are exploited by the botmasters for their resiliency against the take down efforts. As the modern botnets are stealthier, the traditional botnet detection approaches are not suitable for the botnet detection. In this paper, an efficient botnet detection system is proposed for detecting the P2P botnet.

Botnets

Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Security of Information and Networks, 2012
Many different approaches have been used to target Internet security throughout time. It is now easy to realize the attackers' motivational shifts from the early days of lonely, proud-based, virus development to the recent eras of cooperative Internet cyber criminality where high profit and damage became a reality.

Botnet and P2P Botnet Detection Strategies: A Review

2018 International Conference on Communication and Signal Processing (ICCSP), 2018
Among various network attacks, botnet led attacks are considered as the most serious threats. A botnet, i.e., the network of compromised computers is able to perform large scale illegal activities such as Distributed Denial of Service attacks, click fraud, bitcoin mining etc. These attacks are considered as the major concern now-a-days.

Botnet Detection using Machine Learning

2021 12th International Conference on Computing Communication and Networking Technologies (ICCCNT), 2021
A bot is a computer that has been affected through a malware infection and can be controlled distantly by a cyber-criminal. The cyber-criminal would be able to utilize the bot to dispatch more assaults. A botnet is a collection of such bot controlled by a cyber-criminal Infected group of computers creates a botnet on the global network.
