摘要: An in-depth understanding of botnet behavior is a precursor to building effective defenses against this serious and growing threat. In paper we describe our initial steps toward flexible scalable laboratory testbed for experiments with bots botnets. Our Botnet Evaluation Environment (BEE) designed enable individual or networks up thousands be tested in secure, self-contained framework. BEE being developed as toolkit Emulab-enabled network testbeds; design choice made obviate the need user/experiment management functions access collections computing hosts. The focus implementation efforts has been on library OS/Bot images that can run systems virtual machines. currently includes generated from source code four well known (Agobot, GTbot, Spybot, SDbot) binary several unknown bots, number Windows OS variants. also set services are required botnets including DHCP, DynDNS, IRC, other tools useful measurement evaluation such VM monitors honeypots. To demonstrate utility BEE, simple tests characterizes command control traffic three different configurations.
