| On the Internet, though, you can have a simple script do that, and even distribute the requests over time and over a botnet to evade lockouts. |
|
| Subsequent monitoring and forensic testing revealed that a botnet made up of open proxies in China was responsible for the attack. |
|
| Once users installed the malicious software their computer became part of a botnet controlled by the hacker. |
|
| For example, by clicking on a link to view your personally addressed e-card, you could get infected with a virus or even become part of a botnet. |
|
| The attacks are often coordinated by a botnet, a web of compromised computers acting at the whim of the hackers behind the attack. |
|
| A botnet is a new technology that allows a large network of computers to be controlled from a single source. |
|
| I've been following reporting on the discovery of a new botnet in Vietnam with interest. |
|
| Most bots can be monitored by a botnet operator via a communication channel, such as IRC, and can receive commands. |
|
| But unplanned opportunities to stun a botnet or botnets may present themselves when a web host is shunned by the internet community. |
|
| A botnet under surveillance was observed uploading movie files to victim systems. |
|
| According to McAfee, the botnet was primarily controlled from IP addresses in Vietnam. |
|
| The botnet owners were using a customized version of BitTorrent software to upload sizeable files without arousing the victim's suspicion. |
|
| This time difference allows them to generate billions of spam messages that are sent out via a botnet and it makes them a fortune. |
|
| By registering just a handful of those domains, the botnet masters can regain control over their drones and establish new command networks. |
|
| Shortly after that, fireeye ceased registering the resurrection domains, and Srizbi's masters soon succeeded in reclaiming their botnet. |
|
| Srizbi would later shrink to a shadow of its former size, but rustock remains by far the largest spam botnet, responsible for sending nearly 30 percent of all junk mail globally each day, according to M86 Security. |
|
| Network administrators need to do more to prevent troublemakers from hijacking their hardware, quickly detecting when a botnet has enslaved their computers, and fixing DNS servers when their inherent flaws are exploited. |
|
| McAfee and Google both posted information on the botnet on Tuesday the 30th, and the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and New York Times all ran pieces on the phenomenon yesterday. |
|
| Over the past five years, web attackers have combined forces with botnet operators, who rent their armies of zombie computers to shady organisations responsible for spam, fraud and other nefarious activities. |
|
| Thousands of such zombie computers are corralled together to form a botnet capable of launching scams. Many of us have been unwitting accomplices at one time or another. |
|
|
|
| This is a very efficient method for adding functionality since the 'owner' of the botnet can centrally issue commands instructing all listening bots to download specific modules. |
|
| The new frontier of the mobile internet has already led to predictions that the botnet phenomenon will move to use this new technology, presenting new threats. |
|
| They can use a botnet to send out spam e-mails, process stolen data or store illegal files. A botnet can also be used in a denial of service attack against your business or organization. |
|
| Is a connection to an IP in a foreign country from your local neighborhood office or a branch site just a benign connection from somebody browsing on the Web, or is it botnet activity? |
|
| Spammers normally work with a botnet, a large network of hacked computers. |
|
| In addition, it turned out the Russian-speaking cybercriminal community is now using a standard package consisting of two Trojans and the botnet controlled by them. |
