A Reinforcement Approach for Detecting P2P Botnet Communities in Dynamic Communication Graphs. (arXiv:2203.12793v1 [cs.NI])

Peer-to-peer (P2P) botnets use decentralized command and control networks
that make them resilient to disruptions. The P2P botnet overlay networks
manifest structures in mutual-contact graphs, also called communication graphs,
formed using network traffic information. It has been shown that these
structures can be detected using community detection techniques from graph
theory. These previous works, however, treat the communication graphs and the
P2P botnet structures as static. In reality, communication graphs are dynamic
as they represent the continuously changing network traffic …
