Abstract

“ A botnet is a network of compromised computers,

termed bots that are used for malicious purposes. When a computer becomes compromised typically through a drive-by download, that has embedded malicious software, that computer becomes a part of a botnet. A bot typically runs hidden and uses a covert channel to communicate with its command and control server. Botnets are controlled through protocols such as IRC and HTTP and in protocol-conforming manners. This makes the detection of botnet command and control a challenging problem. In this paper we discuss some of the botnet detection techniques and compare their advantages, disadvantages and features used in each technique.
