A domain-generating algorithm (DGA) is a program or subroutine that provides malware with new domains on demand or on the fly. Kraken was the first malware family to use a DGA (in 2008) that we could ...

Malware strains —mostly banking trojans— use DGAs to generate unique domain names for each day to which infected hosts connect to receive new commands from the main command and control (C&C) server.

Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) represent a significant challenge in contemporary cybersecurity by enabling malware to generate vast numbers of pseudo‐random domain names for maintaining resilient ...

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 ...

Cloud-native network detection and response (NDR) specialist ExtraHop hopes to give security researchers and defenders a little extra help when it comes to defending against malware and botnet ...

Researchers have devised a new method to root out botnets that try to hide behind alternating domain names. Supranamaya "Soups" Ranjan, a research scientist, says he and a team of colleagues came up ...
