The Botnet Hunters

By Joan Goodchild

CSO - A self-proclaimed geek from the age of 14, Andre DiMino had always been interested in computers and networking. But it wasn't until he entered his professional life many years later that he became interested in the security side of that world.

"I was a system administrator for a fairly large network that experienced a significant hacking incident one weekend," said DiMino. "I became consumed with learning about the methods of attack, who might be involved, and where it came from. Right then, I became passionate about all aspects of security, as well as the various groups that carried out the attacks."

That was an intersting read, especially the link to the interactive schematic on how a botnet works.

I have followed the guys at shawdowserver.com for a while no, but thiswas the first time I had seen them referred to from outside.
