Botnets are known to be one of the most serious Internet security threats. In this survey, we review botnet architectures and their controlling mechanisms. Botnet infection behavior is explained. Then, known botnet models are outlined to study botnet design. Furthermore, Fast-Flux Service Networks (FFSN) are discussed in great details as they play an important role in facilitating botnet traffic. We classify botnets based on their architecture. Our classification criterion relies on the underlying CC Cu0026C traffic, bot generated traffic, and DNS traffic, (2) botmaster traceback detection, and (3) botnet detection using virtual machines. Finally, we summarize botnet defence measures that should be taken after detecting a botnet. |
