On-Demand Bot Detection and Archival System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unusually high correlation in activities among users in social media is an indicator of bot behavior. We have developed a system, called DeBot, that identifies such bots in Twitter network. Our system reports and archives thousands of bot accounts every day. DeBot is an unsupervised method capable of detecting bots in a parameter-free fashion. In February 2017, DeBot has collected over 710K unique bots since August 2015. Since we are detecting and archiving Twitter bots on a daily basis, we have the ability to offer two different services based on our bot detection system. The first one is a bot archive API that makes it easy for researchers to query the DeBot’s archive. This API can be used to answer various queries: Is a given Twitter account a bot? When was this bot active in the past? Which twitter accounts were detected as bots on a specific date? The second service that we offer is an on-demand bot detection platform which can detect bots that are related to a given topic or geographical location, and report them to the user in few hours. This paper explains all the details of the services we offer on top of the DeBot’s bot detection engine.

Detecting intrusions early enough can be a challenging and expensive endeavor. While intrusion detection techniques exist for many types of vulnerabilities, deploying them all to catch the small number of vulnerability exploitations that might actually exist for a given system is not cost-effective. In this paper, we present FloGuard, an on-line intrusion forensics and on-demand detector select...

Abstract—Today, botnets have become a serious threat to enterprise networks. By creation of network of bots, they launch several attacks, distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) on networks is a sample of such attacks. Such attacks with the occupation of system resources, have proven to be an effective method of denying network services. Botnets that launch HTTP packet flood attacks agains...
متن کاملA Method of Pedestrian Detection for Image Analysis Bot System
In this paper, to build an efficient intelligent surveillance system, the CNN algorithm, one of the deep learning algorithms, was used for an image analysis bot (bot, the abbreviation of robot, is a software tool for processing data) system to detect and classify pedestrians in a video sequence. To optimize the system, we made some improvements to the CNN algorithm. Additionally, we implement t...
