【 摘 要 】

A “botnet” is a group of compromised computers connected to a network, which can be used forboth recognition and illicit financial gain; controlled by an attacker (bot-herder). Among thecounter measures proposed in the recent developments is the “Honeypot”. The attacker whowould be aware of the Honeypot would take adequate steps to maintain the botnet, hence attackthe Honeypot (Infected Honeypot). In this paper we propose a method to remove the infectedHoneypot by Constructing a Peer-to-peer structured botnet which would detect the uninfectedHoneypot and use it to detect botnets originally used by the attacker. Our simulation shows thatthis method is very effective and can detect the botnets that are intended to malign the network.
