چکیده

We propose a set of metrics for efficient botnet detection. The proposed metrics captures the unique group behavior that is inherent in bot communications. Our premise for proposing group behavior metrics for botnet detection is that, group behavior observed in botnets are unique and this unique group behavior property is inherent in the botnet architecture. The proposed group behavior metrics uses three standard network traffic characteristics, namely, topological properties, traffic pattern statistics and protocol sequence and usage to derive the proposed metrics. We derive six group behavior metrics and illustrate the efficiency of botnet detection using these metrics. It was observed that, group behavior metrics offers a promising solution for botnet detection.

Enhanced PeerHunter: Detecting Peer-to-peer Botnets through Network-Flow Level Community Behavior Analysis

Peer-to-peer (P2P) botnets have become one of the major threats in network security for serving as the fundamental infrastructure that responsible for various cyber-crimes. More challenges are involved in the problem of detecting P2P botnets, despite a few existing works claimed to detect traditional botnets effectively. In this paper, we present Enhanced PeerHunter, a network-flow level botnet...
