The idea of one botnet taking over another, by stealing infected devices, is interesting. What if "policing" botnets were deployed as a counter measure? Devices would be infected by the same methods used by malicious botnets, but these benevolent botnets could hinder or disable other botnet agents. Has this been tried or, if not, would it be effective? Or would it result in endless botnet warfare, with each side continually coming up with new counter measures against the other and no real progress ever made?
- wodenokoto 10y agoThis already happens between malicious botnets. There also once was a worm that would infect computers and patch against itself.
