Storm Dismantled at USENIX LEET Workshop 58
An anonymous reader writes "The USENIX LEET workshop held earlier this week in San Francisco offered neat insights into the Storm botnet, including two papers showing the difficulty of accurately measuring the botnet's size, and one on the way it conducts its spamming campaigns (down to the template language used). There was a bunch of other cool work too, so check out the papers."

Sure, these guys are somewhat clever, but they're not the real geniuses behind the technology.
And yes, the researchers did a great job, too. It's not easy picking unknown protocols apart!
