The case for in-the-lab botnet experimentation: creating and taking down a 3000-node botnet

By Joan Calvet, Carlton R. Davis, José M. Fernandez, Jean-Yves Marion, Pier-Luc St-Onge, Wadie Guizani, Pierre-Marc Bureau, and Anil Somayaji

This paper, presented at the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (2010), and to which ESET's Pierre-Marc Bureau was a contributor, discusses alternative approaches to understanding botnet mechanisms, using "in the lab" experiments involving at-scale emulated botnets.
