Botnets: How They Work and How to Detect Them

Botnets are growing in complexity and capabilities. This podcast describes botnet architectures, with particular emphasis on the most resilient kind, P2P botnets. The topic then shifts to examining the core functions of a botnet, including control of the botnet, bot's control over hosts, prorogation, and malware delivery. In the last segment, I address how to block and detect botnets and describe some new traffic analysis techniques for monitoring and detecting bot activity.
