Abstract:
Abstract—One of the trends in the security world of the 21st century has been a massive growth in malware. Anti-virus vendors make efforts to respond to the malware growth with constant development of anti-virus software and its updating signatures. In spite of this fact, there is a chance that even secured systems may be infected. Analysis of malware of Command and Control (C&C) servers is a technique for detecting unknown malware in anti-virus software. It allows for detailed understanding of the important aspects of malware and plays a key part in any forensic analysis. This paper is an initial work for future research and describes possible usage of this technique for a malware detection.
