Prediction model for botnet-based cyber threats

Recent malicious attempts in Cyber-space are intended to emerge cyberwar such as stuxnet as well as to get financial benefits by spam, distributed-of-service(DDoS), identity theft, and phishing through a large pool of comprised hosts, which are called zombies. Botnets are becoming one of the most serious threats to Internet security. We consider that major pre-symptoms of cyber threats are activity and propagation of botnet and propose the prediction model of cyber threats based on botnets.
