摘要: Given the popularity of smartphones and mobile devices, botnets are becoming an emerging threat to users network operators. We propose a new form cloud-based push-styled that exploits today's push notification services as means command dissemination. To motivate its practicality, we present control (C&C) channel using Google's Cloud Device Messaging (C2DM) service, develop C2DM botnet specifically for Android platform. strategies enhance scalability large coverage resilience against service disruption. prototype botnet, perform evaluation show is stealthy in generating heartbeat traffic, resource-efficient bandwidth power consumptions, controllable quickly delivering all bots. also discuss how one may deploy demonstrate feasibility launching SMS-Spam-and-Click attack. Lastly, generalize design other platforms, such iOS or Window-based systems, recommend possible defense methods. wide adoption services, believe this type requires special attention from our community.
