Abstract(in English) Recently, security attacks caused by a bot have been widely spreading. In this research, we aim to detect and block Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) based bots by focusing on special characteristics of DNS domain name resolutions for Command & Control (C&C) servers. The DGAs generate domain names using pseudo random functions with the seed of the current time of day, the trend keywords in SNS, etc. The attackers register a part of the generated domain names on the authoritative DNS server in order to make the bots find out the C&C server. The generated domain names are difficult to be estimated by other individuals than the attackers therefore the network administrators can hardly identify malicious DNS domain name resolutions. To deal with this issue, we focus on the characteristic of DGAs, namely NXDOMAIN responses were frequently received because many generated domain names have not been registered on the authoritative DNS server. In this paper, we design and implement a system to detect and block the malicious DNS domain name resolutions by analyzing the NXDOMAIN responses, which are received when the bots try to find out the C&C servers. By using the prototype system, we also evaluate its effectiveness with multiple DGAs.
