Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the most emerging technologies in these years. According to the service models, it can be categorized into SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). Because SaaS uses computational power from both servers of cloud computing providers and machines of customers, we argue that SaaS may be elaborately exploited in an unprecedented way as an attack vector for botnets, i.e. SaaS-driven botnets. This paper introduces SaaS-driven botnets with detailed analysis on feasibilities, and proposes potential defense approaches against SaaS-driven botnets.
