Modern malware programs employ sophisticated techniques to maintain persistent command and control (C2) communication with ...

Technical Terms Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA): An algorithmic technique used by malware to generate numerous, pseudo-random domain names for resilient C&C communications.

Approaches include looking at a list of known domain generation algorithms (DGAs) that help the company create a predictive list that can be used to identify DGA-registered domains.

To do that, one group of hackers started using Registered Domain Generation Algorithms (RDGAs), which appears, unfortunately, to be working. Cybersecurity researchers from Infoblox Threat Intel ...

Hackers have started to adopt domain-generation techniques normally used by botnet-type malware in order to prolong the life of Web-based attacks, according to security researchers from antivirus ...

Separately, Cybereason issued a report last week saying attackers are increasingly turning to domain generation algorithms (DGAs) generate large numbers of random Internet addresses to like to ...

When the company deployed algorithms for RDGA discovery earlier this year, domains used were identified in groups. Another algorithm correlated the domain clusters and attributed them to a single ...

As per the report, Prolific Puma has been using a registered domain generation algorithm (RDGA) to create domain names in bulk. Then, they would use those domains to provide a link-shortening ...

Researchers said Octo2's use of a domain generation algorithm for C2 communication is a particular innovation. It allows the malware to generate new domain names on the fly, ensuring that attackers ...
