摘      要：The cyber-criminal compromises end-hosts(bots)to configure a network of bots(botnet).The cyber-criminals are also looking for an evolved architecture that makes their techniques more resilient and stealthier such as Peer-to-Peer(P2P)*** P2P botnets leverage the privileges of the decentralized nature of P2P ***,the P2P botnets exploit the resilience of this architecture to be arduous against take-down *** P2P botnets are smarter to be stealthy in their Commandand-Control mechanisms(C2)and elude the standard discovery ***,the other side of this cyberwar is the *** P2P botnet monitoring is an exacting mission because the monitoring must care about many aspects *** aspects pertain to the existing monitoring approaches,some pertain to the nature of P2P networks,and some to counter the botnets,i.e.,the anti-monitoring *** these challenges should be considered in P2P botnet *** begin with,this paper provides an anatomy of P2P ***,this paper exhaustively reviews the existing monitoring approaches of P2P botnets and thoroughly discusses each to reveal its advantages and *** addition,this paper groups the monitoring approaches into three groups:passive,active,and hybrid monitoring ***,this paper also discusses the functional and non-functional requirements of advanced *** conclusion,this paper ends by epitomizing the challenges of various aspects and gives future avenues for better monitoring of P2P botnets.
