Abstract
A computerized method is disclosed that includes accessing domain name server (DNS) record data including a plurality of DNS records spanning a first time period, performing a time-to-live (TTL) analysis to determine a TTL run length distribution for the DNS record data, wherein the TTL analysis includes: generating a vector of the TTL values of each DNS record ordered sequentially in time, parsing the vector of the TTL values into segments, where a segment consists of one or more TTL values where a current TTL value is less than an immediately preceding TTL value, and determining the TTL run length distribution, determining whether DNS beaconing is present based on a result of the TTL analysis and in response to determining that DNS beaconing is present, generating an alert for a system administrator.
