Summary: | Although existing malicious domains detection techniques have shown great success in many real-world applications, the problem of learning from imbalanced data is rarely concerned with this day. But the actual DNS traffic is inherently imbalanced; thus how to build malicious domains detection model oriented to imbalanced data is a very important issue worthy of study. This paper proposes a novel imbalanced malicious domains detection method based on passive DNS traffic analysis, which can effectively deal with not only the between-class imbalance problem but also the within-class imbalance problem. The experiments show that this proposed method has favorable performance compared to the existing algorithms. |
