Botnet is an urgent problem that has impact on information security and reduces confidentiality, integrity and availability of certain service. Many large companies are one of the victims who are attacked by botmaster and it costs heavy economic losses. Some attacks happened due to the operation of botnet, such as DDoS and spam. To enhance security, many researches are concentrated on detecting and analyzing the architecture of botnet. How to detect the attacks from botnet and minimize the damage is an important issue. Many techniques, including intrusion detection system and honeypot, are designed to monitor packet data. Once identifying attacks, different solutions are used to block attacks on different levels. In this paper,the architecture of botnet, the methodology of detection and techniques are described.
