Botnet fingerprinting method based on anomaly detection in SMTP conversations
The paper presents the results obtained during research on detection of
unsolicited e-mails which are sent by botnets. The distinction from most of the
existing solutions is the fact that the presented approach is based on the
analysis of network traffic - the sequence and syntax of SMTP commands observed
during email delivery process. The paper presents several improvements for
detection of unsolicited email sources from different botnets (fingerprinting),
which can be used during network forensic investigation.Comment: 6 pages, 4 tables, 3 figure
