Abstract
Botnets are security threat now days, since they tend to perform serious internet attacks in vast area through the compromised group of infected machines. The presence of command and control mechanism in botnet structure makes them stronger than traditional attacks. Over course of the time botnet developer have switched to more advanced mechanism to evade each of which new detection methods and countermeasures. As our knowledge , existing survey on botnets area have just focused on determining different attributes of botnet behavior, hence this paper attempts to introduce botnet with a famous bot sample for defined behavior that provides obvious view on botnets and its feature. This paper is based on our two previous accepted papers of botnets on IEEE conferences namely ICCSIT 2011 and ICNCS 2010.
