Since most malwares are designed using decentralized architecture to resist detection and countering, in order to fast and accurately detect Peer-to-Peer (P2P) bots at the stealthy stage and minimize their destructiveness, a real-time detection system for stealthy P2P bots based on statistical features was proposed. Firstly, all the P2P hosts inside a monitored network were detected using means of machine learning algorithm based on three P2P statistical features. Secondly, P2P bots were discriminated based on two P2P bots statistical features. The experimental results show that the proposed system is able to detect stealthy P2P bots with an accuracy of 99.7% and a false alarm rate below 0.3% within 5 minutes. Compared to the existing detection methods, this system requires less statistical characteristics and smaller time window, and has the ability of real-time detection.
