  • Botnets have become one of the main threats to cyberspace security. Although they can be detected by techniques such as reverse engineering, botnets using covert technologies such as fast-flux can successfully bypass existing security detection and continue to survive. The existing fast-flux botnet detection methods are mainly divided into active and passive, the former will cause a large network load, and the latter has the problem of cumbersome feature value extraction. In order to effectively detect fast-flux botnets and alleviate the problems in traditional detection methods, a fast-flux botnet detection method based on spatiotemporal features of network traffic is proposed, combined with convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural network models, the fast-flux botnet is detected from both spatial and temporal dimensions. Experiments performed on the CTU-13 and ISOT public data sets show that compared with other methods, the accuracy rate of the proposed method is 98.3%, the recall rate is 96.7%, and the accuracy is 97.5%.
