Botnet Topology Reconstruction: A Case Study

Abstract

Over the past decade, bot net has been a serious threat to the Internet because it can be used to launch a variety of attacks on the Internet. To prevent the attacks, we have to fully understand the infection paths and attack methods of bot net. Hence, this study is aimed at reconstructing scenarios of attacks performed by bot net on the Testbed@TWISC platform in such a way that the behavior of the bot net and the infection period can be observed and analyzed so that better defense tools can be built.
