Design an Advanced Botnet to Monitor User Awareness on Harmful Malware Using VertexNet

Malware creates a serious problem to the infected computer. People believe that installing antivirus can mitigate the computer from being infected. In fact, malware designer actively creates botnet which is concealed from the antivirus. Most people do not aware of being infected, that causes their PC harmful and can be controlled by C&C server. In this paper, we develop a botnet based on VertexNet bot loader, as a result it can be used as a tool to map the awareness of people from being infected.
