A Concept of Detection Method for Botnets Based on Social Networks

BotTROP: Detection of a Botnet-based Threat using Novel Data Mining Algorithm

“…Figure 4 presents the simplified scheme of the experiment. The results gathered from the test with MCFP project were presented by Ostap et al (2018) as well as the experiment with Powershell Empire and TwitterBots. Furthermore, the implementation and the environment of the TwitterBot and Powershell Empire was also included in the mentioned publication.…”

“…Furthermore, it includes a description of its implementation and extensive research on its effectiveness and quality. It is able to detect botnets that use any kind of architecture, protocol or social networks for communication (Ostap et al 2018) purpose with their C2. Moreover, to mitigate botnet activity it is not necessary to install any monitoring agent on every host in the monitored network.…”

“…For the needs of the Sequential Probability Ratio Testing (SPRT) method, we determine values for the parameters: thr, , , a, b. Detailed discussion of this problem is presented by Ostap et al (2018). Shortly speaking, we assume that:…”
