In some embodiments, heuristic botnet detection is provided. In some embodiments, heuristic botnet detection includes monitoring network traffic to identify suspicious network traffic; and detecting a bot based on a heuristic analysis of the suspicious network traffic behavior using a processor, in which the suspicious network traffic behavior includes command and control traffic associated with a bot master. In some embodiments, heuristic botnet detection further includes assigning a score to the monitored network traffic, in which the score corresponds to a botnet risk characterization of the monitored network traffic (e.g., based on one or more heuristic botnet detection techniques); increasing the score based on a correlation of additional suspicious behaviors associated with the monitored network traffic (e.g., based on one or more heuristic botnet detection techniques); and determining the suspicious behavior is associated with a botnet based on the score.

Using DNS communications to filter domain names is disclosed. A domain name is extracted from a received DNS request. The received DNS request is blocked in response to determining based on a policy that access to the domain name of the DNS request is not permitted. In some cases, such a DNS request is responded to with a spoofed DNS response.

In some embodiments, identification of malware sites using unknown URL sites and newly registered DNS addresses includes performing a heuristic analysis for information associated with a network site; and assigning a score based on the heuristic analysis, in which the score indicates whether the network site is potentially malicious. In some embodiments, the system includes a security appliance that is in communication with the Internet. In some embodiments, the network site is associated with a network domain and/or a network uniform resource locator (URL). In some embodiments, performing a heuristic analysis for information associated with a network site further includes determining if a network site has recently been registered. In some embodiments, performing a heuristic analysis for information associated with a network site further includes determining if a network site is associated with recently changed DNS information. In some embodiments, performing a heuristic analysis for information associated with a network site further includes determining geographical information as well as an IP network location associated with the network site.

In some embodiments, a malware analysis system includes receiving a potential malware sample from a firewall; analyzing the potential malware sample using a virtual machine to determine if the potential malware sample is malware; and automatically generating a signature if the potential malware sample is determined to be malware. In some embodiments, the potential malware sample does not match a preexisting signature, and the malware is a zero-day attack.

At least initially blocking client download of certain content and injecting a user verification step for such downloads is disclosed. In some embodiments, client download of a response from a server to a client request is blocked, and instead a notification page with options to accept or decline the server response is provided to the client.

Encrypted peer-to-peer detection is provided. In some embodiments, encrypted peer-to-peer detection includes monitoring network traffic from a first client to determine whether the first client is executing a peer-to-peer application; and generating network traffic that emulates peer-to-peer network traffic sent from the peer-to-peer application executing on the first client to a second client after detecting unknown network traffic sent from the first client to the second client. In some embodiments, encrypted peer-to-peer detection includes monitoring network traffic from a client to determine that the client is sending a request for information for a peer-to-peer application executing on the client; and generating a network traffic response to the client that emulates peer-to-peer network traffic.
