Abstract
Along with the rapid development of mobile network, the botnet is shifting from traditional network to mobile one. The mobile botnet has already become a focus of future internet security. With wide application of twitter and with its characteristics of real-time, asynchronous and loose coupling communication, the mobile internet becomes a more controllable and more concealed information platform carrier for the mobile botnet. Communication quality of the mobile network SMS service is stable with independent of the communication mechanism. SMS services can provide a stable and robust communication environment for mobile botnet. This paper puts forward a mobile botnet based upon twitter and SMS control. Based on this, the author puts forward two common algorithm for network topologies according to real application environment, and with simulation analysis, the author proves the twitter- and SMS-control-based mobile botnet is superior with its invisibility, robustness and flexibility.
