About

Jungmin So is a researcher focused on cybersecurity, particularly the detection, analysis, and mitigation of botnets—networks of infected computers used for large-scale cybercrime. His work addresses one of the most persistent threats to internet infrastructure, providing foundational insights into how botnets operate and how they can be countered. His most-cited paper, “Botnets: threats and responses” (2011, 14 citations), systematically categorizes the types of botnets, their attack vectors (including spam, DDoS, click fraud, and data theft), and evaluates defensive strategies. A companion paper, “On botnets” (2010, 6 citations), further clarifies the architecture and lifecycle of these malicious networks. Though his citation counts are modest, So’s contributions are notable for their clarity and practical relevance, serving as accessible primers for students and practitioners entering the field of network security. His work has helped shape early academic understanding of botnet threats, making him a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to secure the internet against automated, large-scale attacks.
