Malicious domains are commonly used by cyberattackers for command and control communication, hosting malware and phishing attacks. Palo Alto Networks researchers Wei Xu, Kyle Sanders and Yanxin Zhang recently explored ways to predict malicious domains so they can be added to blacklists before they go live. To hear how they went about this, and to see the results they achieved, take a look at this video from their paper presentation at VB2014:
