Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malware poses one of the major threats to all currently operated computer systems. The scale of the problem becomes obvious by looking at the global economic loss caused by different kinds of malware, which is estimated to be more than US$ 10 billion every year. Botnets, a special kind of malware, are used to reap economic gains by criminals as well as for politically motivated activities. In contrast to other kinds of malware, botnets utilize a hidden communication channel to receive commands from their operator and communicate their current status. The ability to execute almost arbitrary commands on the infected machines makes botnets a general-purpose tool to perform malicious cyber-activities. Botnets provides a comprehensive analysis of the topic, and comprises both technical and non-technical sections written by leading cybersecurity experts. The non-technical section addresses how botnet infrastructure could be exploited for national security and cybercrime purposes. It approaches the subject as a public policy issue and analyzes the phenomenon of botnets from national security, law enforcement and regulatory policy perspectives, and makes recommendations for policy-makers on different public policies, highlighting the need for international response mechanisms. The technical section provides insight into current botnet techniques and discusses state-of-the-art countermeasures to combat the botnet threat in detail. It includes new detection methods as well as different approaches to actively compromise running botnets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents current research in the area of advanced monitoring in P2P botnets, and uses a dual-perspective approach to discuss aspects of botnet monitoring in-depth. First, from the perspective of a defender, e.g. researchers, it introduces advanced approaches to successfully monitor botnets, taking the presence of current botnet anti-monitoring mechanisms into consideration. Then, adopting a botmaster perspective to anticipate the advances in future botnets, it introduces advanced measures to detect and prevent monitoring activities. All the proposed methods were evaluated either using real-world data or in a simulation scenario. In addition to providing readers with an in-depth understanding of P2P botnets, the book also analyzes the implications of the various design choices of recent botnets for effectively monitoring them. It serves as an excellent introduction to new researchers and provides a useful review for specialists in the field.

Book excerpt: Our world is increasingly driven by sophisticated networks of advanced computing technology, and the basic operation of everyday society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to these networks’ shortcomings. The implementation and upkeep of a strong network defense is a substantial challenge, beset not only by economic disincentives but also by an inherent logistical bias that grants advantage to attackers. Research Anthology on Combating Denial-of-Service Attacks examines the latest research on the development of intrusion detection systems and best practices for preventing and combatting cyber-attacks intended to disrupt business and user experience. Highlighting a range of topics such as network administration, application-layer protocols, and malware detection, this publication is an ideal reference source for cybersecurity professionals, IT specialists, policymakers, forensic analysts, technology developers, security administrators, academicians, researchers, and students.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, , course: Economics of Accounting and Finance, language: English, abstract: While crime is not considered something that is abstinent from the business world, it is also seldom realized as its own economy. The following paper will present an economic approach to crime in the modern area. The sphere of cybercrime, in particular the case of Botnets is going to be used to analyze a rational choice approach to economics in crime. In doing so, the basic model of rational choice economics in crime is presented. Then the case of Botnets is introduced and used to illustrate supporting and opposing arguments for the model. The paper will conclude that cybercrime – especially the case of botnets – is driven by rational choice and thus the idea of economic efficiency. The benefit of this conclusion results in the possibility of counter-measures to disrupt these criminal markets and lower profitability.

Book excerpt: in this book you can read The botnet, a collection of compromised computers, is one of the latest technologies in the evolution of cybercrime. Cybercriminals, motivated by financial gain, use those infected computers as an equipment of cybercrime. For example, botnets are used in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) extortion scams, sending of spam, and running arbitrary network services for phishing
