Title
Noise-resistant mechanisms for the detection of stealthy peer-to-peer botnets.
Abstract
•A novel approach for P2P botnet detection using ‘signal-processing’ approaches of Fourier transforms and information entropy.•Detection of stealthy P2P botnets in presence of traffic from benign P2P applications.•Detection models were evaluated for their robustness by injecting noise in the ‘testing’ dataset. Our approach gave higher True Positive rate (90%) as compared to results obtained with features used by past research.
