In order to enhance the defensive ability and prediction ability of mobile network,a method for constructing mobile botnet based on a URL Shortening Services Flux (USSes-Flux) and Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) was proposed. The mobile botnet model was designed with hybrid topology of central structure and peer-to-peer (P2P), USSes-Flux algorithm was presented, which increased robustness and stealthiness of Command and Control (C&C) channel. The control model was discussed. The states change of different bot, command design and propagation algorithm were also analyzed. In the test environment, the relationship between probability of short URL invalidness and number of required short URL was discussed. The static analysis, dynamic analysis and power testing of the mobile botnet and the samples of different C&C channel were carried out. The results show that the proposed mobile botnet is more stealthy, robust and low-cost.
