An Efficient Detection of Dga Based Botnets

The recent malicious attacks on the network i.e. Internet are of greater extent and their main intention mostly to gain financial benefits of any organizations, governments, countries defense plans etc., The Botnet is named as one of the most fearsome malware and by the help of DGA's (Domain Generation Algorithms) they were increased rapidly and that too in recent days their strength has been increased abundantly, which provide more stealth to the bots and makes more difficult to detect. They use C&C (Command & Control) server to stay undetected. This paper presents the comparative study on various DGA bots and discusses the challenges in detecting the bots; different types of algorithms used in the process and proposed new botnet detection technique. This paper concludes with the suggesting better way to find DGA botnets and to classify them efficiently.
