Does anyone have any recommendations on books/sites that are doing botnet research. Technical details and the coding behind them (not just the news stories of x number of infections).

Thanks

The Honeynet Project (http://www.honeynet.org/), SANs Reading Room (http://www.sans.org/reading_room/) and Cyber-TA (http://www.cyber-ta.org/) are good places to start in this field.

I've mentioned this in another thread (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,1910.msg7621/#msg7621) but Steve Gibsons analysis of DDoS attacks using botnets make an interesting (but slightly dated read). Can be difficult to find though  Cry

Happy Hunting

Lance's HoneyNet Project is without a doubt the place to start. But also look at:

Virtual Honeypots: From Botnet Tracking to Intrusion Detection

And more info can be found here with an endorsement by Lance himself:

Hope this helps,

Don,

I've taken a look at this book on Amazon a few times but haven't been able to find a copy in store to take a quick shuffty at. I assume from your post it's worth the outlay?

While I can find a tenuous link; is there anyway for me to connection the H affliation-type stuff with the UK (or other) Amazon sites? Currency conversion is starting to make my head hurt Wink

Coming off the back of this thread I've found both a review and sample chapter on LSO (don't know why I didn't think to check here earlier) by Chris Gates, thanks man. Review can be found here: http://www.learnsecurityonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=224&Itemid=85)

Sample chapter can be found here for your studying pleasure http://www.informit.com/content/images/9780321336323/samplechapter/0321336321_CH11.pdf

Or you could look here:

RoleReversal - Short answer...yes. Get the book. Use our Amazon search box on the right side of the page. Every little bit helps.  Wink

Thanks,
