InfoSec Handlers Diary Blog

Shadowserver has published their take on a recent series of DDoS attacks http://www.shadowserver.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/Calendar/20100913. The control domains, victim industries, countries affected, and command communications are all listed in the article. Not a complete analysis of the BlackEnergy bot, and bots are not a new phenomenon, but server to remind that DDoS for hire is still around, botnets are still around, and that their impact can be devastating.
