Malware authors are increasingly adopting flexible domain generation algorithms (DGAs) in order to evade detection and prevent their botnets from being shut down by security researchers or law ...

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

Six crimeware families are using some new algorithm tricks to escape detection as they carry out global attacks, according to findings from security company Damballa Inc. The crimeware families ...

Luckily, the crew behind the BlackHole exploit kit has solved that problem for its customers by including a new domain-generation algorithm that will help create new malicious sites as quickly as ...

The latest iteration includes advanced anti-detection mechanisms and a domain generation algorithm for command-and-control communication. See Also: The Healthcare CISO's Guide to Medical IoT Security ...

In early July, a group of cyber criminals released a modified version of the Gameover ZeuS banking trojan, using a technique known as a domain generation algorithm (DGA) to make disrupting the ...

Researchers at Akamai have unearthed a concerning shift in the behavior of dynamically seeded Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) families within Domain Name System (DNS) traffic data. This discovery ...

Among the key innovations of the Conficker worm (W32.Downadup) was the pseudo-random domain generation algorithm used for the generation of dynamic command and control locations in order to make ...

The infamous Conficker worm used a domain generation algorithm for receiving instructions from its creators. This brought the technique to the public’s attention for a short time in 2009.
