Botnets for Scalable Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
With an increasing number of devices that must be managed, the scalability of network and service management is a real challenge. A similar challenge seems to be solved by botnets which are the major security threats in today’s Internet where a botmaster can control several thousands of computers around the world. This is done although many hindernesses like firewalls, intrusion detection systems and other deployed security appliances to protect current networks. From a technical point of view, such an efficiency can be a benefit for network and service management. This paper describes a new management middleware based on botnets, evaluates its performances and shows its potential impact based on a parametric analytical model.

This restriction of IP space for mail solves one problem but it doesn’t solve others. On the one hand, it makes management of IPs scalable for machines that are bots. Today, most spam is sent from botnets. However, botnets do not always send out all of their spam directly – many bots compromise legitimate mail hosts or email accounts and send out spam that way, or create a throwaway account at ...
متن کاملMalware Models for Network and Service Management
Different kinds of malware like the botnets and the worms are a main threat on Internet for the current and future. Their efficiency to control systems is proved and we are investigating the malware mechanism that can be adapted to get an efficient and scalable management plane. Our work consists in modelling malware based network management and assessing its performance.

This paper presents Hades, a Hadoop-based framework for detection of P2P botnets in an enterprise-level network, which is distributed and scalable by design. The contributions of this work are two-fold: Firstly, our work uses the Hadoop-ecosystem to adopt a ‘host-aggregation based’ approach which aggregates behavioral metrics for each Peerto-Peer (P2P) host seen in network communications, and u...

Many Cloud Service Providers (CSP) offer access to scalable, reliable computing resources following a payas-you-go model. Research into security of the Cloud focusses mainly on protecting legitimate users of Cloud services from attacks by external, malicious users. Little attention is given to prohibit malicious users from using the Cloud to launch attacks, such as those currently done by botne...

Peer-to-Peer botnets are legally taken by botmasters for the quick recovery against taking down efforts of the system. But it’s a harder one for the botmasters, because modern botnets are hidden and performing malicious activities it makes the process inefficient. Additionally because of sudden growth of the network traffic there was an ability to enlarge the malicious activities of the system....
