As a conscientious system administrator, network administrator, or security professional, you've no doubt been frustrated by the lack of good usable information about the latest, and most deadly internet attack, botnets. From diagrams to help you explain botnets to management, to working code to help you detect and respond to them, Botnets: Killer Web App has it all. Botnets are being hired to take out the competition, via DDOS attacks, in Clicks4Hire schemes to defraud Internet Advertising sites, in launching targeted Spam and phishing attacks. They use trojan horse software with remote control capabilities, stealth features that kill A/V software. The Command and Control servers use Fast Flux domains, sites that rapidly change their domain name or even IP addresses, to play an Internet version of the shell game. They steal identity and financial account information from infected hosts. They can be used to store prohibited materials, like child pornography, on your Mom or Dad's computer rather than on one that might lead to the actual pedophile's conviction. Botnets: Killer Web App, answers your questions about this new technology threat. What are they? How do they spread? How do they work? How can I detect them when they don't want to be seen? What tools are available to fight this menace? What kind of help is there across the Internet and within Law Enforcement? Botnets: Killer Web App, covers all this and more.
