Latest Trends in Botnet Development and Defense 2 Abstract In this study, we give an overview about current trends in botnet development and defense. We start off by giving an overview of botnet technology and introducing core concepts. This is followed by a description of measures employed by botnet operators to secure their botnets against infiltration by security researchers and authorities. We discuss both the technical requirements of setting up and operating a botnet as well as the requirements with regard to skills, resources and time of infiltrating and taking down a botnet. We conclude with an outlook on future developments. Latest Trends in Botnet Development and Defense 3 Table of Contents Copyright and Disclaimer 2 Abstract 3 Table of Contents

  • Malicious Software
    Malicious Software Virus - a piece of software that can “infect” other programs by modifying them in the file system; the modification includes injecting the original program with a routine to make copies of the virus program, which can then go on to infect other programs. Virus code can be prepended or appended to an executable program, or it can be embedded in some other fashion. The key to its operation is that the infected program, when invoked, will first execute the virus code and then execute the original code of the program. Example: sality PE infector http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/enterprise/media/security_response/whitepapers/sality_peer_to_peer_viral_network.pdf Encrypted virus: A portion of the virus creates a random encryption key and encrypts the remainder of the virus. The key is stored with the virus. When an infected program is invoked, the virus uses the stored random key to decrypt the virus. When the virus replicates, a different random key is selected. Execution Flow of an Infected File Types of Viruses: • Boot sector infector: Infects a master boot record or boot record and spreads when a system is booted from the disk containing the virus. Example: stoned, Michelangelo, mebroot, rovnix • File infector: Infects files that the operating system or shell consider to be executable. • Macro virus: Infects files with macro code that is interpreted by an application. Example: Melissa, iloveyou Macro viruses were popular until about the year 2000 when Windows executables became the prominent form. Virus prevalence by type However, in 2014, there were some new macro viruses created and social engineering was used to turn off security controls which disabled macros by default: http://blog.dynamoo.com/ show macros 2014 Macro Virus in a MS Office document used Social Engineering to get macros turned on to distribute the Napolar virus.
