Prediction accuracy

  • good true positive rate, only few false positives
  • # of false positives vary across clusters

– 84% of clusters have no potential FPs (unknown)

slide-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
  • more malicious domains based on a few seeds and

domain registry information

slide-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

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

  • faster than blacklists for 92% of the inferred malicious

domains
