Abstract

Botnet designs are becoming more robust and sophisticated with the passage of time. While the security world is grappling with the security threats posed by Zeus and SpyEye, a new breed of botnets has begun to flourish. Present-day botnets such as smoke, ICE-X, NGR, etc use a mix of pre-existing and newly developed exploitation tactics to disseminate infections. Botnets have been successful in bypassing advanced defense mechanisms developed by the industry . This talk will take you to the journey of the lives of present-day botnets. With a good set of demonstrations, we will dissect the crux of upcoming breed of botnets.
