Abstract
Techniques for identifying potential malware domain names are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for identifying potential malware domain names. The system may comprise one or more processors communicatively coupled to a network. The one or more processors may be configured to receive a request for network data, where the request for network data may comprise a domain name. The one or more processors may also be configured to apply a lexical and linguistic analysis to the domain name. The one or more processors may also be configured to identify whether the domain name is a potential malware domain name based on the lexical and linguistic analysis.
