Overview of Network Security Assignment Title - Potential threats and mitigation tools for Botnet
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping) - Students should be able to demonstrate their achievements in the following unit learning outcomes: Analyse and discuss common emerging threats, attacks, mitigation and countermeasures in networked information systems.
Assignment Description - The security remains a challenge in networked information systems. The ubiquity and increasing popularity of the cyber physical systems have made networked devices a powerful amplifying platform for cyberattacks. These attacks are mainly carried out by using malicious software (Malware). Generally, Malware are classified based on their primary traits. One of the primary traits of Malware is Payload capabilities.
"One of the most popular payload of Malware today is software that will allow the infected computer to be placed under the remote control of an attacker for the purpose of launching attacks. This infected robot computer is called a bot or zombie. When hundreds, thousands, or even millions of bot computers are gathered into a logical computer network, they create a botnet under the control of a bot herder".
Assume you have an interview for a cyber-security analyst position with Silver Security Solutions company. You are supposed to be prepared about the botnet, their types, threats, and mitigation tools. In this context write a report including the following sections:
A. Introduction about Botnet and its impact on the society. This section must discuss the report outline
B. Discussion of any three variants of Botnet
C. Botnet Architecture
D. Botnet operation and communication
E. Potential threats posed by a Botnet
F. Recommendations on any two mitigation techniques/tools to tackle the Botnet attack and discuss the effectiveness of the selected tools
G. Discussion on any three Networked Applications targeted/attacked by Botnet from current literature review
