Abstract

This chapter introduces a new kind of cybersecurity system named botnet defense system (BDS) that defends an IoT system against malicious botnets. This chapter consists of two parts. The former part describes the concept and design of the BDS. The concept is “fight fire with fire.” To realize the concept, the BDS uses bot technology. The BDS builds a white-hat botnet on the IoT system by itself and uses it to exterminate the malicious botnets. The white-hat botnet autonomously spreads over the IoT system and thus drastically increases the defense ability. The latter part explains the strategy of the BDS. The white-hat botnet is a so-called double-edged sword. It defends the IoT system against malicious botnet but wastes the system's resources. Therefore, the BDS should strategically use the white-hat botnet. Some strategies have been proposed. Their characteristics are discussed through the simulation with the agent-oriented petri nets.
