论文摘要
我们专注于僵尸网络编排的问题，并讨论攻击者如何利用分散的技术来动态控制僵尸网络，目的是使僵尸网络具有抗敌意接管的弹性。我们涵盖比特币区块链的关键元素及其对“浮动命令和控制服务器”的使用情况。我们进一步讨论如何建立基于区块链的僵尸网络，并包括对我们的实施的详细讨论。我们还展示了如何使用特定的比特币API来将无关的数据写入区块链。最后，在本文中，我们使用比特币来构建弹性僵尸网络的概念证明，但威胁不仅限于比特币区块链，而且可以概括。
We focus on the problem of botnet orchestration and discuss how attackers can leverage decentralised technologies to dynamically control botnets with the goal of having botnets that are resilient against hostile takeovers. We cover critical elements of the Bitcoin blockchain and its usage for `floating command and control servers'. We further discuss how blockchain-based botnets can be built and include a detailed discussion of our implementation. We also showcase how specific Bitcoin APIs can be used in order to write extraneous data to the blockchain. Finally, while in this paper, we use Bitcoin to build our resilient botnet proof of concept, the threat is not limited to Bitcoin blockchain and can be generalized.
