Abstract
Various services through smartphones or personal computers have become common nowadays. Accordingly, embedded malware is rapidly increasing. The malware is infiltrated by using short message service (SMS), wireless networks, and random calling and makes smartphones bots in botnets. Therefore, in a system without an appropriate deterrent, smartphones are infiltrated easily. In the security threats by malware, random calling has become serious nowadays. To develop the defensive system against random calling and prevent the infiltration of the malware through random calling, it is required to understand the exact process of how to make bots in the botnet. Thus, this research develops a simple and ingenious mobile botnet covert network based on adjustable ID units (SIMBAIDU) to investigate how a botnet network is established by using phone numbers. Perfect octave coding (P8 coding) turns out to be effective in infiltrating smartphones and executing commands, which is used for botnets. The results provide the basic process of P8 coding which is useful for developing defensive systems of smartphones.

Several honeypots comprise a whole honeynet that spreads the honeynet spots and integrates the honeypot data for malicious behavior analysis. e honeypot help understands the techniques and features of the botnet
Despite the easiness and effectiveness, there are not many research results on the use of the caller ID number for preventing mobile botnet infiltration. us, this paper focuses on hidden communication and the control model on the smartphone with the following research objectives
We aim to propose a hidden communication model by using caller IDs to transmit the binary file, a simple and ingenious mobile botnet covert network based on adjustable ID units (SIMBAIDU). is applies to any platform regardless of its operating system. rough the test of the proposed model on Windows Mobile 6 (WM6), we intend to use caller IDs to send binary executable files, which proves that using caller IDs is used for preventing covert channel controls
Summary
Several honeypots comprise a whole honeynet that spreads the honeynet spots and integrates the honeypot data for malicious behavior analysis. e honeypot help understands the techniques and features of the botnet. We aim to propose a hidden communication model by using caller IDs to transmit the binary file, a simple and ingenious mobile botnet covert network based on adjustable ID units (SIMBAIDU). As the maximum number of digits of caller IDs is 15 according to the E.164 standard, the experiment results provide a compression method in encoding transferring files and the permutations and combinations of the caller IDs. e model enables sending commands at different times by using changing caller IDs. e proposed model prevents the infiltration of the mobile botnet, which is applied to the networks such as general packet radio service (GPRS), 4 G, 5 G, and Wi-Fi for the concealed communication by modifying the caller IDs. 2.1. Sending commands and files demands changing phone numbers as the malware uses different arrangements and frequencies of the numbers
