BotMiner: clustering analysis of network traffic for protocol- and structure-independent botnet detection

TL;DR: This paper presents a general detection framework that is independent of botnet C&C protocol and structure, and requires no a priori knowledge of botnets (such as captured bot binaries and hence the botnet signatures, and C &C server names/addresses).
