Welcome to the next generation of bots. If there is one thing the recording industry has taught the world, it is that P2P can not be shut down. With the rise of the Stormworm malware and P2P network, 2007 has been a breakout year for widespread, highly organized, mafia-style computer crime. The media would have you believe that Stormworm is an untrackable, unstoppable, super-computer of up to 50 million "zombies". Fortunately the reality isn't so bad. This presentation will detail how to reverse-engineer the network protocol that Stormworm uses and how to build your own bot to track peers in the network. Data and graphs covering months of the P2P network will be released.
