Abstract.A new approach for the botnet detection based on multi-agent system is proposed. For increasing of the efficiency of botnet detection multi-agent systems were involve that allowed to make antivirus diagnosis via agents' communication within corporate network. The structure and main principles of antiviral agents' functioning within multi-agent system are developed. The principles of communication between the agent's units before and after attack on the computer system were developed. A new technique for sensor diagnosis in monitor mode which uses fuzzy logic was developed. A new technique for sensor diagnosis in scanner mode with generation of detectors using the modified negative selection algorithm was developed.
An article presents the approach for the botnets’ low-rate a DDoS-attacks detection based on the botnet’s behavior in the network. Detection process involves the analysis of the network traffic, generated by the botnets’ low-rate DDoS attack. Proposed technique is the part of botnets detection system – BotGRABBER system. The novelty of the paper is that the low-rate DDoS-attacks detection involves not only the network features, inherent to the botnets, but also network traffic self-similarity analysis, which is defined with the use of Hurst coefficient. Detection process consists of the knowledge formation based on the features that may indicate low-rate DDoS attack performed by a botnet; network monitoring, which analyzes information obtained from the network and making conclusion about possible DDoS attack in the network; and the appliance of the security scenario for the corporate area network’s infrastructure in the situation of low-rate attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
