摘要:Compromised machines are one of the input security threats on the Internet; they are frequently used to launch various securityattacks such as spamming and spreading malware, DDoS, and identity theft. Given that spamming provides a key economicincentive for attackers to recruit the large number of compromised machines, we focus on the detection of the compromisedmachines in a network that are involved in the spamming activities, commonly known as spam zombies. We develop an effectivespam zombie detection system named SPOT by monitoring outgoing messages of a network. SPOT is designed based on apowerful statistical tool called Sequential Probability Ratio Test, which has bounded false positive and false negative error rates
