A Framework for Understanding Botnets
Botnets have become a severe threat to the cyberspace. However, existing studies are typically conducted in an ad hoc fashion, by demonstrating specific analysis on captured bot ...

The influence of scaling and assortativity on takeover times in scale-free topologies
In evolving systems, the topological characteristics of population structure have a pronounced impact on the rate of spread of advantageous alleles, and therefore affect selective...

Modeling Botnet Propagation Using Time Zones
Time zones play an important and unexplored role in malware epidemics. To understand how time and location affect malware spread dynamics, we studied botnets, or large coordinated...

Takeover times on scale-free topologies
The topological properties of a network directly impact the flow of information through a system. In evolving populations, the topology of inter-individual interactions affects th...

A Taxonomy of Botnet Structures
We propose a taxonomy of botnet structures, based on their utility to the botmaster. We propose key metrics to measure their utility for various activities (e.g., spam, ddos). Usi...
