Detection of mobile botnets using neural networks

Abstract

This poster deals with botnets, the most dangerous kind of mobile malware, and their detection using neural networks. Unlike common mobile malware, botnets often have a complicated pattern of behavior because they are not managed by predictable algorithms but they are controlled by humans via command and control servers (C&C servers) or via peer-to-peer networks. However, they have certain common features which have been revealed by analysis of contemporary mobile botnets. These features have been used for creation of a neural network training set. Finally, the design of parallel architecture using neural network for useful detection of mobile botnets has been described. © 2016 IEEE.
