Botnet has recently been recognized as one of the most significant security threats/worms of the Internet. Latest attacks are increasingly complex, and utilize many strategies in order to perform their intended malicious/hazardous task. Attackers have developed the ability of controlling vast area of infected hosts, characterized by complex executable command set, each involved part in cooperative and coordinated attacks. These papers propose the advanced approach related botnet detection and analysis in the near future. It demonstrates a novel approach of botnet investigations and defense mechanisms.
