LEET '08 Call for Papers

The First USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale Exploits and Emergent Threats (LEET '08) has a CFP that closes soon. From the CFP:
Overview As the Internet has become a universal mechanism for commerce and communication, it has also become an attractive medium for online criminal enterprise. Today, widespread vulnerabilities in both software and user behavior allow miscreants to compromise millions of hosts (worms, viruses, drive-by exploits, etc.), conceal their activities with sophisticated system software (rootkits), and manage these resources via a distributed command and control framework (botnets). This platform in turn provides economics of scale for a wide range of criminal activities including spam, phishing, DDoS, click fraud, and so on.

Topics LEET has evolved from the combination of two other successful workshops, the ACM Workshop on Recurring Malcode (WORM) and the USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Understanding Botnets (HotBots), which have each dealt with aspects of this problem. However, while papers relating to both worms and botnets are explicitly solicited, LEET has a broader charter than its predecessors. We encourage submissions of papers that focus on any aspect of the underlying mechanisms used to compromise and control hosts, the large-scale "applications" being perpetrated upon this framework, or the social and economic networks driving these threats.

Source: LEET '08 Call for Papers. Topics for the workshop for readers here include: Infection vectors for malware (worms, viruses, etc.), Boutique and targeted malware, and Reverse engineering.

Search-and-destroy Antispyware.
Have you ever tried Search-and-destroy Antispyware? If you answered no, then you should give it a try. Over the years I have used many different types of antispyware and this is one of the best that I have ever tried. I was surprised and delighted to find that I could purchase it for a lower price than I could buy Norton and other similar scans that produce the same results. That makes it even better. Antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy can find the same kinds of bugs as these more expensive programs and is easy to get. Just click here http://www.Search-and-destroy.com and you can see how well it really works for yourself.
