Due to the rapid growth and use of Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Internet of Things, Information industry became so popular, meanwhile these Emerging technologies have brought lot of impact on human lives and internet network equipment has increased. This increment of internet network equipment may bring some serious security issues. A botnet is a number of Internet-connected devices, each of which is running one or more bots.The main aim of botnet is to infect connected devices and use their resource for automated tasks and generally they remain hidden. Botnets can be used to perform Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, steal data, send spam, and allow the attacker to access the device and its connection. In this paper we are going to address the advanced Botnet detection techniques using Machine Learning. Traditional botnet detection uses manual analysis and blacklist, and the efficiency is very low. Applying machine learning to batch automatic detection of botnets can greatly improve the efficiency of detection. Using machine learning to detect botnets, we need to collect network traffic and extract traffic characteristics, and then use X-Means, SVM algorithm to detect botnets. According to the difference of detection features, botnet detection based on machine learning technology is divided into network traffic analysis and correlation analysis-based detection technology.
