چکیده
Botnets are a serious threat to internet security. Botnets consist of networked collections of compromised machines called robots or ‘bots’ for short. Bots are also called ‘zombies,’ and botnets are also called ‘zombie armies.’ Bots are controlled by nodes called ‘botmasters’ or ‘botherders.’ Bots are infected with malicious code that performs work on behalf of the botmaster or botherder. Botnets are used to conduct cyber warfare, perform massive identity theft, store and disseminate malware and pornography, execute massive spam campaigns, and implement distributed Denial of Service attacks. Botnets today can provide the processing power of a supercomputer and perform a sustained Denial of Service attack powerful enough to take a country off line. This paper will discuss botnet detection tools and techniques, organization and architectures, protocols, and lifecycle. Botnet Tracking Tools! 2 ! Pierce!Gibbs,[email protected]! ! !

متن کاملA Scalable Architecture for Persistent Botnet Tracking
The botnet phenomenon has recently garnered attention throughout both academia and industry. Unfortunately, botnets are still a mystery. In fact, today, very little is known about even the most basic botnet properties, such as size, growth, or demographics. The primary reason for this lack of knowledge is the fact that the existing approaches for measuring such properties are simply inadequate;...
متن کاملThe Case for a Collaborative Universal Peer-to-Peer Botnet Investigation Framework
Peer to Peer (P2P) botnets are becoming widely used as a low overhead, efficient, self maintaining, distributed alternative to the traditional client/server model across a broad range of cyberattacks. These cyberattacks can take the form of distributed denial of service attacks, authentication cracking, spamming, cyberwarfare or malware distribution targeting on financial systems. These attacks...
