Detection and Blocking of Botnet in the Onion Routing Network

Abstract

Nowadays cyber-attacks are becoming a serious threat for network security. Major portion of cyber-attacks are conducted by means of bot malware. So many detection systems started developing to detect botmaster and to prevent various attacks from bots.  Hence botnet started to carry out the communication through the network which can evade detection and to provide anonymity to the C&C (Command and Control) server. Such botnet is called ToR (The Onion Routing) botnet. The proposed system in this paper deals with the detection of ToR botnet. The proposed system also ensures less false positive rate.
