Mitigation of bot networks in wireless networks and/or on mobile devices is provided. A botnet detection component is provided that inspects data traffic and data flows on the wireless network to identify mobile devices that are suspected of behaving as bots. A traffic profile of the suspected bot behavior can be generated and forwarded to the mobile devices that are suspected of behaving as bots. The mobile device can correlate data traffic on the device to the traffic profile in order to identify applications responsible for the suspected bot behavior, and remove the identified applications.
