AbstractA botnet is a collection of computers controlled by a botmaster, often used for malicious activity. Social media provides an ideal platform for controlling a botnet, and also an avenue for botnets to spread their reach. In this research, we develop a botnet, SocioBot, that uses Twitter for its command and control C&C system. We conduct a variety of simulations based on this botnet. Epidemic models are used to validate and analyse our botnet simulations. |
