摘要:Small botnets are tough to detect and easy to control by the botmaster. Having a small botnet with high speed internet connectivity than large but slow connection is more effective and dangerous in nature. According to diurnal dynamics studies only about 20 percent of computers are always online, to maximize a botnet attack power, botmaster should know diurnal dynamics of her botnet. In our project we are designing a peer-to-peer bot. This bot after infecting any of the system first check the internet connection speed of the interface, if it is not up to the desired speed i.e. 2 Mbps the bot will kill itself because slow speed bots are not desired. In another scenario bot will sense is it in a honeypot trap? If so it will kill itself so that the whole botnet could not be exposed to the defender. We will suggest the mitigation techniques to defend bots with these types of properties.
