Abstract

Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA) is a basic building block used in almost all modern malware. Malware researchers have attempted to tackle the DGA problem with various tools and techniques, with varying degrees of success. We present a complex solution to populate DGA feed using reversed DGAs, third-party feeds, and a smart DGA extraction and clustering based on emulation of a large number of samples. Smart DGA extraction requires no reverse engineering and works regardless of the DGA type or initialization vector, while enabling a cluster-based analysis. Our method also automatically allows analysis of the whole malware family, specific campaign, etc. We present our system and demonstrate its abilities on more than 20 malware families. This includes showing connections between different campaigns, as well as comparing results. Most importantly, we discuss how to utilize the outcome of the analysis to create smarter protections against similar malware.
