Botnets: A survey

Computer Networks, 2013
Botnets, which are networks formed by malware-compromised machines, have become a serious threat to the Internet. Such networks have been created to conduct large-scale illegal activities, even jeopardizing the operation of private and public services in several countries around the world. Although research on the topic of botnets is relatively new, it

A Review on IoT Botnet

The 2nd International Conference on Computing and Data Science, 2021
The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) also generates security threats that cannot be ignored. This paper lists the development history of botnets, introduces representative IoT botnets, and reveals their new characteristics. The botnet mechanism and characteristics of IoT botnets are analyzed in depth from three aspects: composition ...

Analyzing Variation Among IoT Botnets Using Medium Interaction Honeypots

Computing and Communication Workshop and Conference, 2020
Through analysis of sessions in which files were created and downloaded on three Cowrie SSH/Telnet honeypots, we find that IoT botnets are by far the most common source of malware on connected systems with weak credentials.

A two-phase sequential pattern mining framework to detect stealthy P2P botnets

Journal of Information Security and Applications, 2020
The botnet has been one of the most common threats to network security. Among all emerged botnet, Peer to Peer (P2P) botnets are more perilous and resistant due to their distributed nature.

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.

An Overview of Modern Botnets

Information Security Journal, 2015
Botnets, a network of malware-infected computers, have been used for a range of malicious activities. Evolving from fast fluxing to employing anonymous networks, they have matured and have become exceedingly sophisticated over the years. Understanding and dismantling these networks has become a global effort that requires active research and ...
