- 6. Existing System The existing system for botnet detection primarily relies on signature-based methods and rule-based heuristics. These conventional approaches have limitations in detecting new, polymorphic botnets, making them less effective against rapidly evolving threats. Additionally, the existing systems often generate a high rate of false positives, causing operational inefficiencies and alert fatigue for security teams. There is also a lack of real-time adaptive capabilities to respond to botnet activities swiftly. Overall, the current systems fall short in providing the proactive and adaptive measures necessary to combat the dynamic and sophisticated nature of modern botnet threats, highlighting the urgency for an Advanced Machine Learning Framework for Botnet Detection and Neutralization.
