The Creation of a Botnet Tracking Web Application

A slide deck on tracking botnets (which is what I've been up to a lot lately) and an application to help do that. While it's not complete, it does give you an idea of what people are doing to manage this scale of information and the degree of response they're giving it. In The Creation of a Botnet Tracking Web Application (a PowerPoint slide deck from the ORAC meeting) by Micah Hoffman from the US CERT, you get an idea of what kind of data goes into this system. While it's lacking some of the details on detecting a botnet and focuses instead on the remediation aspects of their involvement, it looks neat.
