Your botnet is my botnet: analysis of a botnet takeover
Botnets, networks of malware-infected machines that are controlled by an adversary, are the root cause of a large number of security problems on the Internet. A particularly sophi...

Using pair approximations to predict takeover dynamics in spatially structured populations
The topological properties of a network directly impact the flow of information through a system. For example, in natural populations, the network of inter-individual contacts aff...

Packet sampling for worm and botnet detection in TCP connections
—Malware and botnets pose a steady and growing threat to network security. Therefore, packet analysis systems examine network traffic to detect active botnets and spreading worm...

Parameterizing pair approximations for takeover dynamics
Pair approximations have often been used to predict equilibrium conditions in spatially-explicit epidemiological and ecological systems. In this work, we investigate whether this ...
