Abstract
A system for detecting a remotely controlled e-mail spam host. The system includes an E-mail spammer detection unit and a host traffic profiling unit. The E-mail spammer detection unit identifies E-mail Spammers based on SMTP traffic characteristics. The host profiling unit extracts traffic components from the plurality of Internet traffic associated with an E-mail Spammer; interprets the extracted traffic components and determines whether the E-mail Spammer is a compromised host. The system may also include a botnet controller detection unit that analyzes traffic associated with compromised E-mail Spammers and identifies the botnet Controller remotely controlling the compromised E-mail Spammer.
