Exploring Novelty Ways in Building Botnets - Simon Rich and Daniel Mende - Ekoparty Security Conference - 2008

Explore innovative approaches to building botnets in this conference talk from Ekoparty 2008. Join German security researchers Simon Rich and Daniel Mende as they delve into novel techniques for botnet construction. Discover insights on network protocols, SNMP vulnerabilities, DNS manipulation, HTTP exploitation, and data encoding methods. Learn about the use of older protocols, NetAPI vulnerabilities, and fastflux techniques in botnet operations. Gain a deeper understanding of botnet architecture, including components like the NitiServer and communication channels. Benefit from the speakers' expertise in protocol security, hardware manipulation, and innovative approaches to implementing or breaking technology security.
