摘      要：Botnets are networks composed with malware-infect ed *** are designed and organized to be controlled by an *** victims are infected through their inappropriate network behaviors in most cases,the Internet protocol（IP） addresses of infected bots are ***,a bot can get an IP address through dynamic host configuration protocol（DHCP）,so they need to get in touch with the controller initiatively and they should attempt continuously because a controller can＇t be always *** whole process is carried out under the command and control（C＆C） *** goal is to characterize the network traffic under the C＆C channel on the time *** analysis draws upon massive data obtained from honeynet and a large Internet service provider（ISP） *** extract and summarize fingerprints of the bots collected in our ***,with the fingerprints,we use deep packet inspection（DPI） Technology to search active bots and controllers in the ***,we gather and analyze flow records reported from network traffic monitoring *** this paper,we propose a flow record interval analysis on the time domain characteristics of botnets control traffic,and we propose the algorithm to identify the communications in the C＆C channel based on our *** that,we evaluate our approach with a 3.4 GB flow record trace and the result is *** addition,we believe that our work is also useful information in the design of botnet detection schemes with the deep flow inspection（DFI） technology.
