Abstract

Botnets, which consist of thousands of compromised machines, can cause a significant threat to other systems by launching Distributed Denial of Service attacks, keylogging, and backdoors. In response to this threat, new effective techniques are needed to detect the presence of botnets. In this paper, we have used an interception technique to monitor Windows Application Programming Interface system calls made by communication applications. Existing approaches for botnet detection are based on finding bot traffic patterns. Our approach does not depend on finding patterns but rather monitors the change of behaviour in the system. In addition, we will present our idea of detecting botnet based on log correlations from different hosts.
