Abstract—One of the serious threats to cyberspace is the Bot networks or Botnets. Bots are malicious software that acts as a network and allows hackers to remotely manage and control infected computer victims. Given the fact that DNS is one of the most common protocols in the network and is essential for the proper functioning of the network, it is very useful for monitoring, detecting and redu...

The creation of effective autonomous agents (bots) for combat scenarios has long been a goal of the gaming industry. However, a secondary consideration is whether the autonomous bots behave like human players; this is especially important for simulation/training applications which aim to instruct participants in real-world tasks. Bots often compensate for a lack of combat acumen with advantages...

One of the most significant threats faced by enterprise networks today is from Bots. A Bot is a program that operates as an agent for a user and runs automated tasks over the internet, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone. A collection of Bots in a network, used for malicious purposes is referred to as a Botnet. Bot attacks can range from localized attacks like key-log...

Abstract— Bot networks are a serious threat to cyber security, whose destructive behavior affects network performance directly. Detecting of infected HTTP communications is a big challenge because infected HTTP connections are clearly merged with other types of HTTP traffic. Cybercriminals prefer to use the web as a communication environment to launch application layer attacks and secretly enga...

In this paper we discuss my research in detecting bot victim in client networks. Botnets are collections of Internet hosts (―bots‖) that, through malware infection, have fallen under the control of a single entity (―botmaster‖). Botnets perform network scanning for different reasons: propagation, enumeration, penetration. One common type of scanning, called ―horizontal scanning,‖ systematically...

Twitter is a web application playing the dual role of online social networking and micro-blogging. The popularity open structure have attracted large number automated programs, known as bots. In this article, we propose bot detection model using recurrent neural networks, specifically bidirectional lightweight gated unit (BiLGRU), linguistic embeddings. To best our knowledge, first that does no...
