In this paper, we propose a traffic feature-based botnet detection scheme emphasizing the importance of long patterns. Since the communication sequences of bots are not easily changed, the long communication patterns of botnets are useful for detection. The proposed scheme emphasizes the long pattern's importance by improving the feature extraction algorithms and giving weights to the long patterns with large occurrences. By the computer simulation with real dataset, we show the effectiveness of our scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
