What is the bot-net (1)

Platform of Malicious Activities




Attempting login
Sending DDoS traffic
Submitting SPAM messages
Threat for the Internet and for AI3 network


Necessary for avoiding be stepping-stone of
attacks
Necessary for reducing wasting bandwidth
2
What is the bot-net (2)

Bot-net characteristics:




Consisting of many victim hosts and few
(or usually only One) master host(s) (or
user(s))
Constructing command system among
them
Victims are controlled by the order from
master
Victims sometimes try to infect other hosts

Our project:
Traffic monitoring and Analyzing

AI3 network may work well as sensor for bot-network



Constructing traffic monitor mechanism



extensive address space
Backbone but easy for traffic capturing
Dump the whole traffic in AI3 network
Mining anomaly from the traffic

Our strategy

Target – bot-net on IRC




Easy to be differentiated (TCP port 6667)
Famous implementations of bot-net
The Signature is well known
The bot-net on IRC is better as practical
experiments



To confirm to possible for its command system
To obtain bot-net as host-crowd
To analyze the behavior of the crowd

Experiment: Detection
Practical detection:

Watching IRC traffic (TCP:６６６７)
Obtaining pairs of IRC nick. and channel
Finding the channels which keep a lot of users


For finding command system

knowledge

Confirmed our assumption


Command system can be found
The bot-net has characteristic comm.
pattern

The hosts crowd are found

Now planning next step…
11
Plans for future

To obtain statistical data from the hosts crowd



To estimate computational requirement for the stateful
analyzing


memory and calculation requirements per the amount of bandwidth
To apply the method to realtime traffic




To make their activities and behaviors clear
To find the universality of bot behavior
To confirm the universality is true
To watch the bot-net trend of the times
Fixed point observation
To plan for possible countermeasure of bot-network

Against improvement of their command system
