@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ In a \ac{p2p} botnet, each node in the network knows a number of its neighbors a
This lack of a \ac{spof} makes \ac{p2p} botnets more resilient to take-down attempts since the communication is not stopped and botmasters can easily rejoin the network and send commands.
The constantly growing damage produced by botnets has many researchers and law enforcement agencies trying to shut down these operations~\cite{bib:nadji_beheading_2013}\cite{bib:nadji_still_2017}\cite{bib:dittrich_takeover_2012}.
The constantly growing damage produced by botnets has many researchers and law enforcement agencies trying to shut down these operations~\cite{bib:nadji_beheading_2013, bib:nadji_still_2017, bib:dittrich_takeover_2012}.
The monetary value of these botnets directly correlates with the amount of effort, botmasters are willing to put into implementing defense mechanisms against take-down attempts.
Some of these countermeasures include deterrence, which limits the number of allowed bots per IP address or subnet to 1; blacklisting, where known crawlers and sensors are blocked from communicating with other bots in the network (mostly IP based); disinformation, when fake bots are placed in the neighborhood lists, which invalidates the data collected by crawlers; and active retaliation like \ac{ddos} attacks against sensors or crawlers~\cite{bib:andriesse_reliable_2015}.
