Research On Multi-push Services And Cloud-based Traffic Adaptive Mobile Botnet

Botnet is a serious attack evolved from traditional malwares. With the rapid development of computing capability and mobile Internet access technology, building a realistic mobile botnet has become a potential threat. The attackers of mobile botnets through the controlled group established on the smartphones, cause malicious damage to users.Having a fully grasp and understand is the key to building a strong and stealthy command and control mechanisms of mobile botnets. This thesis makes the following three contributions on the research of key technologies of this mobile botnet. They are timeliness, stealthiness and robustness.In this thesis, we propose a multi-cloud push mechanism to analyze the robustness and stealthiness of mobile botnets, and build a traffic adaptive algorithm in client making bot commands can adaptively executing by their priority and the network of users to realize the stealthiness in the execution of commands. We also propose a method to push services and compare the services from five aspects, they are the data distribution speed, latency, packet heartbeat frequency, data compression and traffic consumption, and then we conclude a comprehensive assessment of push service. It plays an important role and help in the underlying the principle of the command and control mechanism of mobile botnet, and last but not least, it also makes a solid foundation in the detection and prevention of mobile botnet in future.
