Abstract
A system and method of analysis. NX domain names are collected from an asset in a real network. The NX domain names are domain names that are not registered. The real network NX domain names are utilized to create testing vectors. The testing vectors are classified as benign vectors or malicious vectors based on training vectors. The asset is then classified as infected if the NX testing vector created from the real network NX domain names is classified as a malicious vector.
