Detecting Mass-mailing Worm with DNS Traffic Monitoring

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) is often difficult to determine whether a DNS query is caused by malicious or normal activity, because
information available in DNS traffic is limited. We focus on the activities of mass-mailing worms and propose a
method to detect hosts infected by mass-mailing worms by mining DNS traffic data. Our method begins with a
small amount of a priori knowledge about a signature query. By assuming that queries sent by most hosts that
have sent the signature query of worms have been sent by worm behavior, we detect infected hosts using Bayesian
estimation. We apply our method to DNS traffic data and the experimental result indicates that an 89% reduction
of mail exchange queries can be achieved with the method.
