Detecting Domain Generation Algorithms With Convolutional Neural Language Models
Accordingly extensive research on dga domain detection has been conducted.
Detecting domain generation algorithms with convolutional neural language models. Traditional models for detecting algorithmically generated domain names generally rely on manually extracting statistical. To hide their c x26 c servers attackers often use a i domain generation algorithm i i dga i which automatically generates domain names for the c x26 c servers. This greatly increases the difficulty of detecting and defending against botnets and malware.
Domain generation algorithms dgas use specific parameters as random seeds to generate a large number of random domain names to prevent malicious domain name detection. A domain generation algorithm dga is an algorithm to. Abstract domain generation algorithms dgas are fre quently employed by malware to generate domains used for connecting to command and control c2 servers.
Classifying domain names as either benign vs. Recent work in dga detection leveraged deep learning architectures like convolutional neural networks cnns and character level long short term memory networks lstms to classify domains. To perform attacks attackers usually employee the domain generation algorithm dga with which to confirm rendezvous points to their c2 servers by generating various network locations.
Produced by malware i e by a domain generation algorithm. Domain generation algorithms dgas are frequently employed by malware to generate domains used for connecting to command and control c2 servers. Argentina 2 ctu czech technical university.
Training and evaluating on a dataset with 2m domain names shows that there is surprisingly little difference between various convo lutional neural network cnn and recurrent neural network. Domain generation algorithms dgas are frequently employed by malware to generate domains used for connecting to command and control c2 servers. The detection of dga domain names is one of the important technologies for command and control communication detection.
However these classifiers perform poorly with wordlist. An analysis of convolutional neural networks for detecting dga carlos catania 1 sebastian garcia 2 and pablo torres 1 1 facultad de ingenieria. In recent years cyberattacks using command and control c x26 c servers have significantly increased.
