Abstract
“ We discovered and reverse engineered Feederbot, a botnet that uses DNS as carrier for its command and control. Using k-Means clustering and a Euclidean Distance based classifier, we correctly classified more than 14m DNS transactions of 42,143 malware samples concerning DNS-C&C usage, revealing another bot family with DNS C&C. In addition, we correctly detected DNS C&C in mixed office workstation network traffic.
