Abstract:

Botnets allow malefactors manage millions of infected computers simultaneously and provide large-scale successful attacks. The paper suggests an approach for multi-agent simulation of botnets and botnet protection mechanisms. The main contribution of the paper is an improved simulation environment for agent based simulation of botnets and experimentation with this environment for analysis of different botnets and protection mechanisms. Experiments demonstrate the capabilities of the simulation environment for investigating various stages of the botnet lifecycle and the efficiency of different protection mechanisms.
