Preserving indomitable DDoS vitality through resurrection social hybrid botnet

As explosive development of the 5th generation wireless systems (5 G), the traces of botnet could be found in a cellular phone, intelligent equipment, cloud, and even Bitcoin network. Hackers are then able to launch the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack via mastering these vulnerable devices. No doubt that the enterprise and government must suffer from the tremendous loss once specific services cannot function normally due to the DDoS. Inspired by a counterintuitive thinking, we actively predict a variant of hybrid botnet based on social network. The addressed prototype, resurrection social hybrid botnet (RSHB), could offer cyber researcher to formulate corresponding defense strategy against botnet. According to comprehensive simulations, the survivability has demonstrated that RSHB is much more dangerous than other botnets. Consequently, RSHB might be a coming sample for cyber engineer to explore the defense methodology.
