Automatic Extraction of Domain Name Generation Algorithms from Current Malware
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many botnets employ a method called domain fluxing for resilience. This technique strengthens the addressing layer of a botnet and allows a bot herder to dynamically provide command and control servers. For the calculation of new domains, a domain name generation algorithm (DGA) is used. In order to take actions against a domain fluxing botnet, the domain name generation algorithm has to be known.

Automatic Detection of Malware-Generated Domains with Recurrent Neural Models
Modern malware families often rely on domain-generation algorithms (DGAs) to determine rendezvous points to their command-and-control server. Traditional defence strategies (such as blacklisting domains or IP addresses) are inadequate against such techniques due to the large and continuously changing list of domains produced by these algorithms. This paper demonstrates that a machine learning a...
متن کاملA comparison of feature extraction techniques for malware analysis
The manifold growth of malware in recent years has resulted in extensive research being conducted in the domain of malware analysis and detection, and theories from a wide variety of scientific knowledge domains have been applied to solve this problem. The algorithms from the machine learning paradigm have been particularly explored, and many feature extraction methods have been proposed in the...
متن کاملA Review of Malware Detection Based on Pattern Matching Technique
Malware detection developer faced a problem for a generation of new signature of malware code. A very famous and recognized technique is pattern based malware code detection technique. This leads to the evasion of signatures that are built based on the code syntax. In this paper, we discuss some well known method of malware detection based on semantic feature extraction technique. In current de...
متن کاملDGA-Based Botnet Detection Using DNS Traffic
In recent years, an increasing number of botnets use Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) to bypass botnet detection systems. DGAs, also referred as “domain fluxing”, has been used since 2004 for botnet controllers, and now become an emerging trend for malware. It can dynamically and frequently generate a large number of random domain names which are used to prevent security systems from detecti...
