Abstract

Botnet Emulation is an emerging method to research on Botnet which is attracting widespread attention. It is referred to build a closed Botnet with virtualization technology to do analysis on Botnet. Although superior to other traditional methods for its flexibility, reproducibility, validity as well as lawfulness, Botnet Emulation is facing challenges from security, transparency, scale and so on. In this paper, we shed light on some of the key challenges in building Botnet Emulation systems. Furthermore, we discuss various techniques used to address or alleviate these problems, along with the pros and cons of each technique. We hope to motivate future research in this area to develop practical solutions to these challenges.
