Comparative Analysis of Botnet and Ransomware for Early Detection
摘要
Recent cyber threats highlight the formidable challenges posed by ransomware and botnets to critical infrastructure. Ransomware, holding data hostage for hefty payments, and botnets, orchestrating distributed attacks through compromised machines, demand distinct mitigation approaches. In this paper, we study ransomware and botnets, using WannaCry and Mirai as examples. We also look into the similarities and differences between the two classes of malware, as well as the techniques they employ. Additionally, this paper describes measures that can be used to prevent and mitigate these threats.
