Detection DNS Tunneling Botnets

Botnets are often used in cyberattacks on network services and individual users, so the ability to detect botnets is very important. Botnets use DNS tunneling to send malicious command-and-control (C&C) commands to victims' hosts. Unfortunately, DNS tunneling attacks are very hard to detect. The paper presents a new approach for DNS tunneling botnet detection, which considers all the features and architectural characteristics of botnets. The technique described in this paper is highly efficient at detecting DNS tunneling attacks.
