This paper provides a detailed case study of the architecture of the Clickbot. A botnet that attempted a low-noise click fraud attack against syndicated search engines. The botnet of over 100,000 machines was controlled using a HTTP-based botmaster. Google identified all clicks on its ads exhibiting Clickbot. Alike patterns and marked them as invalid. We disclose the results of our investigation of this botnet to educate the security research community and provide information regarding the novelties of the attack.
