A botnet describes a network of connected computers with some way to control the infected systems.
|
||||
In classic botnets, there are one or more central coordinating hosts called \ac{c2} servers.
|
||||
These \ac{c2} servers could use anything from \ac{irc} over \ac{http} to Twitter as communication channel with the infected systems.
|
||||
The infected systems can be abused for a number of things, \eg{} \ac{ddos} attacks, stealing data from victims, as proxies to hide the attackers identity, send spam emails\dots{}

A targeted operation with help from law enforcement, hosting providers, domain registrars and platform providers could shut down or take over the operation by changing how requests are rooted or simply shutting down the controlling servers/accounts.

The damage produced by botnets has been constantly growing and there are many researchers and law enforcement agencies trying to shut down these operations.
|
||||
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 amount 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 neighbourhood lists, which invalidates the data collected by crawlers; and active retaliation like \ac{ddos} attacks against sensors or crawlers~\cite{andriesse_reliable_2015}.

For passive detection, traffic flows are analyzed in large amounts of collected network traffic (\eg{} from \acp{isp}).

Both ranking algorithms use the \(\deg^+\) and \(\deg^-\) to weight the nodes.

The goal of this work is to complicate detection mechanisms like this for botmasters, by centralizing the coordination of the system's crawlers and sensors, thereby reducing the node's rank for specific graph metrics.
|
||||
The changes should allow the current sensors to use the new abstraction with as few changes as possible to the existing code.
|
||||
|
||||
The final result should be as general as possible and not depend on any botnet's specific behaviour but it assumes, that every \ac{p2p} botnet has some kind of \enquote{getNeighbourList} method in the protocol, that allows other peers to request a list of active nodes to connect to.

In the current implementation, each sensor will itself visit and monitor each new node it finds.

The idea for this work is to report newfound nodes back to the \ac{bms} backend first, where the graph of the known network is created, and a sensor is selected, so that the specific ranking algorithm doesn't calculate to a suspiciously high or low value.
|

That sensor will be responsible to monitor the new node.
|
||||
|
||||
If it is not possible, to select a specific sensor so that the monitoring activity stays inconspicuous, the coordinator can do a complete shuffle of all nodes between the sensors to restore the wanted graph properties or warn if more sensors are required to stay undetected.
|
||||
|
||||
The improved sensor system should allow new sensors to register themselves and their capabilities (\eg{} bandwidth, geolocation, ), so the amount of work can be scaled accordingly between hosts.
|
||||
Further work might even consider autoscaling the monitoring activity using some kind of cloudcomputing provider.

\subsection{Working Against Suspicious Graph Metrics}
|
||||
|
||||
\citetitle*{karuppayah_sensorbuster_2017} describes different graph metrics to find sensors in \ac{p2p} botnets.
|
||||
One of those, \enquote{SensorBuster} uses \acp{wcc} since crawlers don't have any edges back to the main network in the graph.
|
||||
It would be possible to implement the crawlers so they return other crawlers in their peer list responses but this would still produce a disconnected component and as long as this component is smaller than the main network, it is still easily detectable since there is no path from the crawler component back to the main network.
|
||||
|
||||
Building a complete graph \(G_C = K_{\abs{C}}\) between the crawlers by making them return the other crawlers on peer list requests would still produce a disconnected component and while being bigger and maybe not as obvious at first glance, it is still easily detectable since there is no path from \(G_C\) back to the main network (see~\autoref{fig:sensorbuster2} and~\autoref{fig:metrics_table}).
|
||||
|
||||
\todo{rank? deg+ - deg-?}
|
||||
With \(v \in V\), \(\text{rank}(v)\), \(\text{succ}(v)\) being the set of successors of \(v\) and \(\text{pred}(v)\) being the set of predecessors of \(v\), PageRank is defined as~\cite{page_pagerank_1998}:
|
||||
|
||||
\[
|
||||
\text{PR}(v) = \text{dampingFactor} \times \sum\limits_{p \in \text{pred}(v)} \frac{\text{rank}(p)}{\abs{\text{succ}(p)}} + \frac{1 - \text{dampingFactor}}{\abs{V}}
|
||||
\]
|
||||
|
||||
The dampingFactor describes the probability of a person visiting links on the web to continue doing so, when using PageRank to rank websites in search results.
|
||||
For simplicity, and since it is not required to model human behaviour for automated crawling and ranking, a dampingFactor of \(1.0\) will be used, which simplifies the formula to
|
||||
|
||||
\[
|
||||
\text{PR}(v) = \sum\limits_{p \in \text{pred}(v)} \frac{\text{rank}(p)}{\abs{\text{succ}(p)}}
|
||||
\]
|
||||
|
||||
Based on this, SensorRank is defined as
|
||||
|
||||
\[
|
||||
\text{SR}(v) = \frac{\text{PR}(v)}{\abs{\text{succ}(v)}} \times \frac{\abs{\text{pred}(v)}}{|V|}
|
||||
\]

\todo{big graphs, how many Kn to get significant?}
|
||||
|
||||
While this works for small networks, the crawlers must account for a significant amount of peers in the network for this change to be noticeable.\todo{for bigger (generated) graphs?}
|
||||
|
||||
\subsubsection{Excurs: Churn}
|
||||
|
||||
Churn describes the dynamics of peer participation of \ac{p2p} systems, \eg{} join and leave events~\cite{stutzbach_churn_2006}.
|
||||
Detecting if a peer just left the system, in combination with knowledge about \acp{as}, peers that just left and came from an \ac{as} with dynamic IP allocation (\eg{} many consumer broadband providers in the US and Europe), can be placed into the crawler's neighbourhood list.
|
||||
If the timing if the churn event correlates with IP rotation in the \ac{as}, it can be assumed, that the peer left due to being assigned a new IP address and not due to connectivity issues or going offline, and will not return using the same IP address.
|
||||
These peers, when placed in the neighbourhood list of the crawlers, will introduce paths back into the main network and defeat the \ac{wcc} metric.
|
||||
It also helps with the PageRank and SensorRank metrics since the crawlers start to look like regular peers without actually supporting the network by relaying messages or propagating active peers.

\section{Implementation}
|
||||
|
||||
Crawlers in \ac{bms} report to the backend using \acp{grpc}\footnote{\url{https://www.grpc.io}}.
|
||||
Both crawlers and the backend \ac{grpc} server are implemented using the Go\footnote{\url{https://go.dev/}} programming language, so to make use of existing know-how and to allow others to use the implementation in the future, the coordinator backend and crawler abstraction were also implemented in Go.
|
||||
|
||||
\Ac{bms} already has an existing abstraction for crawlers.
|
||||
This implementation is highly optimized but also tightly coupled and grown over time.
|
||||
The abstraction became leaky and extending it proved to be complicated.
|
||||
A new crawler abstraction was created with testability, extensibility and most features of the existing implementation in mind, which can be ported back to be used by the existing crawlers.
