Abstract :
Internet has been recently witnessing dramatic increase in malwares. Maliciously compromised machines termed Bots have been figured to be the major reason for Internet mahvare epidemic. Further, the BotNet-the network of Bots-detection is difficult and possible only after they have spread widely. Though the existence of these BotNets has been acknowledged, their attributes have not yet been fully construed owing to their distributed nature. A recent issue has been to develop efficient detection technologies to combat BotNets. This paper essentially presents our efforts to disseminate an understanding of BotNets presenting an outline on the types of BotNets and their despiteful characteristics. This paper highlights various detection mechanisms with an aim to seek insight into their efficiency and subsequent issues arising from variety of perspectives. Moreover, recommendations for defense against BotNets have also been mentioned. The goal of the paper is to present research community an expatiation to develop a unique efficient solution for BotNet detection and control.
