Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for tracking and isolating botnets are described. A statistical method for tracking botnets is provided. The proposed method uses the fact that a computer in a botnet has to distribute content which resembles to some degree the content distributed by the other computers in the same botnet over same time period. The size of the messages sent by a particular computer over particular period of time can be tracked. The resulting distribution of message numbers by size is, then, associated with that computer. The distribution statistical data obtained for different sources are then compared using approximation of graphical data. Based on comparison it is determined whether the computer belongs to a botnet.
