BREDOLAB: shopping in the cybercrime underworld

Date
2012
Abstract
A recent emerging trend in the underground economy is malware dissemination as a service. Complex botnet infrastructures are developed to spread and install malware for third-party customers. In this research work, a botnet forensic investigation model is proposed to investigate and analyze large-scale botnets. The proposed investigation model is applied to a real-world law-enforcement investigation case that involves investigation of a large-scale malware dissemination botnet called BredoLab. The results of the forensic investigation show the effectiveness of the proposed model in assisting lawenforcement to conduct a successful forensic analysis of BredoLab botnet and its related resources.
