A P2P Botnet Detection Method Used On-line Monitoring and Off-line Detection

P2P botnet has become a significant threats in security network. In this paper, we propose a new method to detection the P2P botnet through the analysis of the P2P botnet host's life cycle, use the method of off-line detection to find the suspected botnet hosts, and determine the P2P botnet host through online monitoring method. In this way, the efficiency and the accurate rate of P2P botnet detection have raised then only use one method, and reduce the harm of the P2P botnet.
