Detecting P2P botnets by discovering flow dependency in C&C traffic

Botnets are widely used by attackers and they have evolved from centralized structures to distributed structures. Most of the modern P2P bots launch attacks in a stealthy way and the detection approaches based on the malicious traffic of bots are inefficient. In this paper, an approach that aims to detect Peer-to-Peer (P2P) botnets is proposed. Unlike previous works, the approach is independent of any malicious traffic generated by bots and does not require bots’ information provided by external systems. It detects P2P bots by focusing on the instinct characteristics of their Command and Control (C&C) communications, which are identified by discovering flow dependencies in C&C traffic. After discovering the flow dependencies, our approach distinguishes P2P bots and normal hosts by clustering technique. Experimental results on real-world network traces merged with synthetic P2P botnet traces indicate that 1) flow dependency can be used to detect P2P botnets, and 2) the proposed approach can detect P2P botnets with a high detection rate and a low false positive rate.

Resource monitoring for the detection of parasite P2P botnets

Detecting botnet behaviors in networks is a popular topic in the current research literature. The problem of detection of P2P botnets has been denounced as one of the most difficult ones, and this is even sounder when botnets use existing P2P networks infrastructure (parasite P2P botnets). The majority of the detection proposals available at present are based on monitoring network traffic to determine the potential existence of command-and-control communications (C&C) between the bots and the botmaster. As a different and novel approach, this paper introduces a detection scheme which is based on modeling the evolution of the number of peers sharing a resource in a P2P network over time. This allows to detect abnormal behaviors associated to parasite P2P botnet resources in this kind of environments. We perform extensive experiments on Mainline network, from which promising detection results are obtained while patterns of parasite botnets are tentatively discovered.     

Detecting P2P bots by mining the regional periodicity

Peer-to-peer (P2P) botnets outperform the traditional Internet relay chat (IRC) botnets in evading detection and they have become a prevailing type of threat to the Internet nowadays.Current methods for detecting P2P botnets,such as similarity analysis of network behavior and machine-learning based classification,cannot handle the challenges brought about by different network scenarios and botnet variants.We noticed that one important but neglected characteristic of P2P bots is that they periodically send requests to update their peer lists or receive commands from botmasters in the command-and-control (C&C) phase.In this paper,we propose a novel detection model named detection by mining regional periodicity (DMRP),including capturing the event time series,mining the hidden periodicity of host behaviors,and evaluating the mined periodic patterns to identify P2P bot traffic.As our detection model is built based on the basic properties of P2P protocols,it is difficult for P2P bots to avoid being detected as long as P2P protocols are employed in their C&C.For hidden periodicity mining,we introduce the so-called regional periodic pattern mining in a time series and present our algorithms to solve the mining problem.The experimental evaluation on public datasets demonstrates that the algorithms are promising for efficient P2P bot detection in the C&C phase.     

Scalable P2P bot detection system based on network data stream

P2P Botnets are one of the most malevolent threats to the Internet users due to their resiliency against takedown efforts. In this paper, we propose a bot detection system that is capable of detecting stealthy bots in a network. This system treats network traffic as a data stream, segregating the traffic into two parallel streams. The detection is based on failure traffic and communication traffic. The traffic is analyzed during small time window, and the infected hosts are reported immediately. The network administrator can monitor the status of hosts in the network and can take the necessary action before the infected hosts harm the system or can involve in the attacks. Experiments and evaluation of the proposed system on a variety of P2P data transfer applications and P2P botnets have demonstrated high accuracy of detection. The scalability of the proposed system is exhibited through its implementation on Hadoop MapReduce.

Tsunami: A parasitic,indestructible botnet on Kad

While current botnets rely on a central server or bootstrap nodes for their operations, in this paper we identify and investigate a new type of botnet, called Tsunami, in which no such bottleneck nodes exist. In particular, we study how a Tsunami botnet can build a parasitic relationship with a widely deployed P2P system, Kad, to successfully issue commands to its bots, launch various attacks, including distributed denial of service (DDoS) and spam, at ease, as well as receive responses from the bots. Our evaluation shows that in a Kad network with four million nodes, even with only 6 % nodes being Tsunami bots, Tsunami can reach 75 % of its bots in less than 4 min and receive responses from 99 % of bots. We further propose how we may defend against Tsunami and evaluate the defense solution.
