[afnog] Developing Botnets - An Analysis of Recent Activity

[Ian Cook]

All

Team Cymru has just published a new information paper detailing the
last 6 months of botnet activity we've been tracking.

See "Developing Botnets - An Analysis of Recent Activity" at
http://www.team-cymru.org/ReadingRoom/Whitepapers

The conclusions are quite interesting: HTTP based C&C's have doubled
in number, there's a fascinating correlation between HTTP and IRC
based DDoS attacks and the so called 'BRIC' countries are hosting
many of the new breed of C&C's...except for India.

You can also see a brief write up by Brian Krebs here:

Warm regards,
Ian
