RatBot: Anti-enumeration Peer-to-Peer Botnets

As evidenced by the recent botnet turf war between SpyEye and Zeus, the cyber space has been witnessing an increasing number of battles or wars involving botnets among different groups, organizations, or even countries. One important aspect of a cyber war is accurately estimating the attack capacity of the enemy. Particularly, each party in a botnet war would be interested in knowing how many c...

Peer-to-Peer Botnets

“Botnet” is a network of computers that are compromised and controlled by an attacker. 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. Without C&C servers, P2P botnets are more resilient to defense...

Peer-to-Peer Botnets: Analysis and Detection

Modeling and Analysis of Peer-to-Peer Botnets

Peer-to-Peer P2P botnets have emerged as one of the most serious threats to Internet security. To effectively eliminate P2P botnets, in this paper, the authors present two novel dynamical models to portray the process of formation of P2P botnets, one of which is called microlevel model, the other is calledmacrolevel model. Also, the stability of equilibria is investigated alongwith the analysis...
