Existing approaches can detect botnet effectively in certain environments, however problems still exist in using host or network detection approaches respectively, such as robustness in detection tools, difficulties in global deployment and low precision rate. To solve the above problems, a novel detection approach called BotInfer is proposed. In BotInfer approach, host-based bot detection tools are deployed on some of the hosts; network flow of all the hosts is captured and analyzed; host detection result and flow information are correlated by the bot inference engine. Through the experiments, BotInfer can effectively detect the hosts in the network. When the deployment rate of bot detection tools in the network reaches 80%, the precision rate of the hosts with detection tools is about 99%, and the precision rate of the hosts without detection tools is about 86%. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01513770/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01513770/file/978-3-642-40820-5_30_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01513770 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01513770 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-NPC %~ IFIP-LNCS-8147
