Presenting: Approaches to Combating Botnets: Counter-Attacks, Follow the Money, Pro-Active Cleansing or ISP Bot Remediation Programs?

Security researchers have been grappling with how best to tackle botnets. Emerging strategies have surfaced in the past few years including counter-attack take-downs and the cleansing of compromised computers through ISP bot remediation programs. There have been a number of high media profile counter-attack take-downs of botnets in 2010 including Mariposa and Mega-D where security researchers worked to take-down all command and control points. Australia became the first jurisdiction to introduce an industry-wide ISP bot remediation program which has since been adopted by Japan, Germany and the United States. Two potentially effective methods remain largely unexplored by security researchers and law enforcement: proactive cleansing and “follow the money.” This presentation will analyse the different approaches to combating botnets and will examine risk management, law and ethical issues associated with such approaches.

In this overview of the weaknesses that exist in contemporary mobile phone networks, specifically GSM networks, a man in the middle attack is described and examined based on excellent work done in the Information Security industry.

With the benefit of more recent developments, some the implications of GSM phone network hacking will unpackaged and played with.
