Experiments With Simulation Of Botnets And Defense Agent Teams
نویسنده
چکیده
Botnets allow malefactors manage millions of infected computers simultaneously and provide large-scale successful attacks. The paper suggests an approach for multi-agent simulation of botnets and botnet protection mechanisms. The main contribution of the paper is an improved simulation environment for agent based simulation of botnets and experimentation with this environment for analysis of different botnets and protection mechanisms. Experiments demonstrate the capabilities of the simulation environment for investigating various stages of the botnet lifecycle and the efficiency of different protection mechanisms.

Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Botnets and Botnet Defense
Nowadays we are witnesses of the rapid spread of botnets across the Internet and using them for different cyber attacks against our systems. Botnets join a huge number of compromised computers in the Internet and allow using these computers for performing vulnerability scans, distributing denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and sending enormous amounts of spam emails. It is a very complex task to ...
متن کاملCoordination Approach to Find Best Defense Decision with Multiple Possibilities among Robocup Soccer Simulation Team
In 2D Soccer Simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. Effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. In this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...
متن کاملAgent-based Simulation of Distributed Defense against Computer Network Attacks
The paper describes the agent-based approach and software environment (based on OMNeT++ INET Framework) developed for simulation of distributed defense mechanisms which can be deployed in the Internet for counteraction to computer network attacks. According to the approach suggested, the cybernetic counteraction of “bad guys” and security systems is represented by the interaction of different a...
متن کاملAnalysis of Peer-to-Peer Botnet Attacks and Defenses
A “botnet” is a network of computers that are compromised and controlled by an attacker (botmaster). Botnets are one of the most serious threats to today’s Internet. Most current botnets have centralized command and control (C&C) architecture. However, peer-to-peer (P2P) structured botnets have gradually emerged as a new advanced form of botnets. Due to the distributive nature of P2P networks, ...
متن کاملBotOnus: an online unsupervised method for Botnet detection
Botnets are recognized as one of the most dangerous threats to the Internet infrastructure. They are used for malicious activities such as launching distributed denial of service attacks, sending spam, and leaking personal information. Existing botnet detection methods produce a number of good ideas, but they are far from complete yet, since most of them cannot detect botnets in an early stage ...
