Abstract
A peer-to-peer (P2P) bot(s) in a network is identified using an already identified P2P bot. More specifically, such embodiments may facilitate determining a candidate set of computers, which may be potential P2P bots, by identifying computers in a network that have a private mutual contact with a seed bot, which is a computer identified as a P2P bot, and identifying additional computers that have private mutual contacts with the identified computers. Further, a confidence level indicative of a certainty of a membership of each of the candidate computers in the P2P botnet is determined and responsive to a determination that the confidence level of the candidate computer exceeds a determined threshold confidence level, the candidate computer is identified as a P2P bot.
