Abstract

With the rapid development of Internet technology, the network had served various industries, and the number of domains was increasing day by day. As a result, the detection of malicious domain had become increasingly difficult and important. Domain Generate Algorithm (DGA) was common in some botnets and APT attacks, Aiming at the problem of DGA domain can easily bypass traditional firewalls and intrusion detection devices, a DGA domain detection algorithm based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model was designed, whose detection accuracy rate is as high as 99.17%. Meanwhile, a Real-time Monitoring System for DGA Domain based on LSTM was proposed in combination with flow probe to monitor network traffic in real time and improve cyberspace protection capabilities.
