Description
Summary:Machine learning technology has wide application in botnet detection.However,with the changes of the forms and command and control mechanisms of botnets,selecting features manually becomes increasingly difficult.To solve this problem,a botnet detection system called BotCatcher based on deep learning was proposed.It automatically extracted features from time and space dimension,and established classifier through multiple neural network constructions.BotCatcher does not depend on any prior knowledge which about the protocol and the topology,and works without manually selecting features.The experimental results show that the proposed model has good performance in botnet detection and has ability to accurately identify botnet traffic .
