Abstract
Domain-generation algorithms (DGAs) allow attackers to manage infection-spreading websites and command-and-control (C&C) deployments by altering domain names on a timely basis. DGAs have made the infection and C&C architecture more robust and supportive for attackers. This detailed taxonomy of DGAs highlights the problem and offers solutions to combat DGAs through detection of drive-by download and C&C activity from the compromised machine.
