... dif- ferent botnet populations? In what follows, we discuss our methodology for finding potential hidden relation- ships among botnets. First, we create for each botnet a d-dimensional struc- tural ... related bot- nets we then create a proximity matrix M by calculat- ing a pair-wise scores across all botnet vectors, V = v 1 , v 2 , . . . , v n . For a pair of vectors v i , v j the pair-w...
