Sort of a side note: does anyone have any insight into law enforcement activities related to DDoS / zombie networks? It seems like this problem has been growing out of control and nobody in government cares even the slightest bit about it. Yet if you download academic articles that are already ostensibly in the public domain then you can easily raise the ire of the criminal justice system at the federal level.
- foob 14y agoIt seems like this problem has been growing out of control and nobody in government cares even the slightest bit about it. What are you basing this on? Take a look at this: http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-international-law-enforcement-disrupt-international-organized-cyber-crime-ring-related-to-butterfly-botnet http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-internat... I believe that the Microsoft DCU has also worked with the government on a number of botnet investigations and takedowns. Rustock and Bamital come to mind without googling it but I think there are more than several additional ones.
