I have not used PageRank to rank search results but to detect monitoring sensors in P2P botnets as part of my master thesis and it worked pretty well. It is quite effective in detecting sensors and the only way to prevent detection is to reduce incoming edges, thereby requiring many sensors to monitor a large botnet.
So the algorithm is still useful not only for search results.
- tgrzinic 4y agoplease, can you share a link to your thesis?
- Throwaway194902 4y agoSorry for the delay. Disclaimer: I turned the thesis in already but I'm still waiting for my supervisor's feedback. So it might be completely wrong and has not been reviewed until now. The thesis itself can be found here: https://git.vbrandl.net/vbrandl/masterthesis/raw/branch/master/report.pdf https://git.vbrandl.net/vbrandl/masterthesis/raw/branch/mast... Some groundwork I built upon: "SensorBuster: On Identifying Sensor Nodes in P2P Botnets" https://git.vbrandl.net/vbrandl/masterthesis/raw/branch/master/references/2017_sensorbuster.pdf https://git.vbrandl.net/vbrandl/masterthesis/raw/branch/mast...
