Sorry I didn't response soon. It has been a busy summer. It is a constant battle between the good guys and bad. An undetectable botnet is a scary idea. But is it truly undetectable? The article you reference reflects the traffic is encrypted... which means they can't tell what is being transmitted. Could it be that they can still see the traffic? I mean, if a van which is not authorized to be in a factory is seen...and leaves the factory.. doe we need to know what is in the van to follow it? Now if the traffic is completely hidden it see a bigger problem. I am not sure if there will be more botnets as a result. I mean if I had an undectable botnet would I share it with others to use... allow them to cut into my market? Nope. This is definitley a bad think but I see the good guys coming up with a solultion (first off they found out about it which is good). I also see the bad guys taking aim at it to, try to find its weakness, particulary as this undetectable botnet also clears out other botnets. Thanks for sharing the post.

The future of botnets: http://www.information-systems-research.com/blog/2011/07/01/cybercr...
Do you think that cybercrime market will literally explode with such undetectable botnet? that means that cybercriminals will be even less likely to be identified, caught and prosecuted...

I just posted an link that a FACEBOOK site calling for the banning of sex offenders has hit almost five million members. See suggestions for community corrections officers dealing with this issue at Facebook: Sex Offenders Need Not Apply!
