This addresses botnet threats for end users like banks and financial institutions, but appears incremental as it builds on existing detection methods.
The paper tackles the problem of botnet attacks on network servers, which cause significant financial losses, such as Nigeria's annual loss of over 125 billion naira, by proposing an Encapsulated Detection Mechanism (EDM) to mitigate these threats.
Botnet as it is popularly called became fashionable in recent times owing to it embedded force on network servers. Botnet has an exponential growth of about 170, 000 within network server and client infrastructures per day. The networking environment on monthly basis battle over 5 million bots.
