P2P Botnet Detection Based on Nodes Correlation by the Mahalanobis Distance

Botnets are a common and serious threat to the Internet. The search for the infected nodes of a P2P botnet is affected by the number of commonly connected nodes, with a lower detection accuracy rate for cases with fewer commonly connected nodes. However, this paper calculates the Mahalanobis distanc...
