Botnet represents a persistent threat with significant implications for information systems on the Internet. In this study, we focus on the classification of DGA botnet, which is essential for identifying infected DGA botnet types to implement corresponding preventive measures. We propose a solution based on the BERT large language model and transfer learning. Experimental results on the UMUDGA and UTL_DGA22 datasets show that the proposed solution has at least 9.14% higher accuracy than solutions based on machine learning and 2.03% with popular deep learning models. The above results show the suitability of the proposed solution, which is the basis for developing new solutions in the future.

摘要

Botnet represents a persistent threat with significant implications for information systems on the Internet. In this study, we focus on the classification of DGA botnet, which is essential for identifying infected DGA botnet types to implement corresponding preventive measures. We propose a solution based on the BERT large language model and transfer learning. Experimental results on the UMUDGA and UTL_DGA22 datasets show that the proposed solution has at least 9.14% higher accuracy than solutions based on machine learning and 2.03% with popular deep learning models. The above results show the suitability of the proposed solution, which is the basis for developing new solutions in the future.
