Security researchers make a lot of efforts to detect algorithmically generated domains agds for fighting botnets and relevant malicious network behaviors.

Detecting domain generation algorithms with convolutional neural language models. Recent work in dga detection leveraged deep learning architectures like convolutional neural networks cnns and character level long short term memory networks lstms to classify domains. Detecting the malicious domains generated by the dgas in real time is the most challenging task and significant research has been carried out by applying different machine learning algorithms. Given the simplicity of the generation process and speed at which the domains are generated a fast and accurate detection method is required. Convolutional neural network cnn are well known for performing real time detection in fields like image and video recognition.

Domain generation algorithms dgas are frequently employed by malware to generate domains used for connecting to command and control c2 servers. We propose a convolutional neural based learning classifier system cn lcs that models the role of queries by combining conventional learning classifier system lcs with convolutional neural network cnn for a database intrusion detection system based on the rbac mechanism.

Existing models for detecting algorithmically generated domain names are primarily based on reverse engineering blacklist filtering statistical machine learning methods and neural networks. Convolutional neural network can extract high level information and discover intricate structure which dramatically improve the performance of many computer vision tasks such as object detection speech recognition and image classication. Therefore they seemed suitable for dga detection. This research considers contemporary state of the art dga malicious detection approaches and proposes a deep learning architecture for detecting the dga.
