Abstract
The new technique of botnet detection which bots use polymorphic code was proposed. Performed detection is based on the multi-agent system by means of antiviral agents that contain sensors. For detection of botnet, which bots use polymorphic code, the levels of polymorphism were investigated and its models were built. A new sensor for polymorphic code detection within antivirus agent of multi-agent system was developed. Developed sensor performs provocative actions against probably infected file, restarts of the suspicious file for probably modified code detection, behavior analysis for modified code detection, based on the principles of known levels of polymorphism.
