Prediction accuracy
21
Prediction accuracy
- good true positive rate, only few false positives
- # of false positives vary across clusters
– 84% of clusters have no potential FPs (unknown)
22
A note on false positives
- some other clusters (example: 123 domains, 119 FP)
– many noun-noun domains

Summary
- domains registered and used in clusters
31
Summary
- domains registered and used in clusters
- more malicious domains based on a few seeds and
domain registry information
32
Summary
- domains registered and used in clusters
- more malicious domains based on a few seeds and
domain registry information
- good accuracy
– 73% of inferred domains on blacklists – 93% of domains are suspicious – false positives are often true positives

- good accuracy
– 73% of inferred domains on blacklists – 93% of domains are suspicious – false positives are often true positives
- faster than blacklists for 92% of the inferred malicious
domains
