Abstract

Objectives: The system which is under the control of Bot master is called Bot. Botnet refers to the network of bots. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Botnet use HTTP protocol for communication. Findings: HTTP Botnet is difficult to detect since their features are somewhat similar to normal HTTP traffic1 . Genetic algorithm Based detection method results in better analysis of botnet attacks. However, it sets the initialization pool by picking the values randomly and can assure only less false positive rate. Novelty: This paper proposes System Dynamics (SD) based Genetic Algorithm for improving the efficiency of Genetic algorithm and hence the botnet detection.
