Botnet Attack: Is it a risk for Smart Phones?
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: With immense use of internet over smartphones, it is being a matter of concern for cyber securityexperts to provide security from ever growing threat of cyber attacks. The motivation of hackers behinddeveloping malware is shifted from joy to a profit earning market. Amongst various forms of malware, mobilebased botnet is emerged as a new threat for cyber security experts. Mobile based botnet attacks are increasingday by day and smartphone users are unaware about the harm it can cause. Considering this, the paper gives anoverview of working and propagation of mobile based botnet attacks. Common propagation medium ofsmartphone based botnet are SMS, Bluetooth, NFC and WiFi. The paper proposed a hybrid P2P system forcreating botnet using WiFi.
