the storm botnet wiki

interesting adaptive software, albeit very evil software!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_botnet

they say they know how much bandwidth it can produce for dos attacks, but that it can take some countries down..
looks to me like they know for sure it can do 50gbps (calculated from the 170,000 dsl bots)

couldn't they update the network, to perform some type of metasploit.  I mean like ..now they just send spam with virus attachments, what having the bots become more intellegent, and looking for vulnerabilities, through brute force metasploit type stuff, make them behave like humans etc..

I wonder how many machines the system could grow to that way?  then during a war, they could sell to the highest bidder

weird stuff

any reason we shouldn't upgrade the national infrastructure to be able to block these ip's.  also get command and control from the creators themselves.  looks like the kings of spam have some links to this, a couple guns to the head and people talk
