Using Algorithms to Brute Force Algorithms

Using Algorithms to Brute Force Algorithms

Domain generation algorithms have been used in commodity malware for obscuring and adding resiliency to command and control infrastructure for years. This talk will present the application of a brute forcing algorithm designed specifically for attacking weaknesses in Ramnit's generation algorithm. Using this technique we were able to identify and further study Ramnit variants (based on DGA seed)
