Botnet Analysis

Research Areas: Network Security, Prevention, Detection and Response,

Principal Investigator: James Goldman

As part of current research into malware behavior, the Botnet Analysis Team is developing standardized architectures and processes with which to detect, isolate, observe, analyze and potentially defend against or destroy botnets. Botnets are typically used for illegal activities, and are often made up of thousands of compromised computers. Botnet simulation will use a cluster of PCs configured with typical operating system and software configurations used by homes and businesses today.
