Abstract
A botnet is a network of zombie computers compromised by some malware (virus, worm). Botnets are coordinated by a botmaster through a command and control channel (C&C) to which the malware connects to get instructions. A botmaster can use botnets to perform malicious activities. In this paper, we report on the development of a platform for analyzing malware and botnets.
