چکیده

Botnet is a network of compromised computers controlled by the attacker(s) from remote locations via Command and Control (C&C) channels. The botnets are one of the largest global threats to the Internet-based commercial and social world. The decentralized Peer-to-Peer (P2P) botnets have appeared in the recent past and are growing at a faster pace. These P2P botnets are continuously evolving from diverse C&C protocols using hybrid structures and are turning to be more complicated and stealthy. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of the evolution, functionalities, modelling and the development life cycle of P2P botnets. Further, we investigate the various P2P botnet detection approaches. Finally, discuss the key research challenges useful for the research initiatives. This paper is useful in understanding the P2P botnets and gives an insight into the usefulness and limitations of the various P2P botnet detection techniques proposed by the researchers. The study will enable the researchers toward proposing the more useful detection techniques.

A Survey of Botnet Detection Techniques by Command and Control Infrastructure

Botnets have evolved to become one of the most serious threats to the Internet and there is substantial research on both botnets and botnet detection techniques. This survey reviewed the history of botnets and botnet detection techniques. The survey showed traditional botnet detection techniques rely on passive techniques, primarily honeypots, and that honeypots are not effective at detecting p...

A Survey on Botnet Architectures, Detection and Defences

Botnets are known to be one of the most serious Internet security threats. In this survey, we review botnet architectures and their controlling mechanisms. Botnet infection behavior is explained. Then, known botnet models are outlined to study botnet design. Furthermore, Fast-Flux Service Networks (FFSN) are discussed in great details as they play an important role in facilitating botnet traffi...

A Survey On Botnet Detection Approaches In Peer-To-Peer Network

Peer-to-peer network is a decentralized and distributed network where an individual nodes in the network performs as both providers and consumers of resources. This type of network is different from centralized network. In the centralized network, the client requests queries for accessing resources to the central servers. Malware is a harmful effect in the peer-to-peer networks. In the peer-to-...

Real-time Peer-to-Peer Botnet Detection Framework based on Bayesian Regularized Neural Network

Over the past decade, the Cyberspace has seen an increasing number of attacks coming from botnets using the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture. Peer-to-Peer botnets use a decentralized Command & Control architecture. Moreover, a large number of such botnets already exist, and newer versionswhich significantly differ from their parent botare also discovered practically every year. In this work, the...
