      DGA

      Domain generation algorithm. These are used in malware attacks by the attacker to generate a random string of domains that are randomly switched as destination points for infected systems to contact their command and control servers (See C2 server). Constantly generating these domains and switching them for use in the attack makes it more difficult to trace the source of the attack.
