الخلاصة:
Android is the most used mobile operating system in the world and since it is
open source, hackers exploit it to perform different attacks such as executing botnet attack which allow them to control the compromised device remotely from a
Command and control (C&C) server and perform other attacks such as distributed
denial of service (DDOS) from the device itself without the owners’ knowledge.
The aim of our study is to find a model that allows us to detect Android botnets
efficiently.
Our proposed method uses a single layer and multi-layer Perceptron models trained
on 342 features to classify application as benign or botnet using ICSX dataset.
We obtained great results from our experimental study with an accuracy of 99%.
