Cybersecurity Awareness Month Talk

Jason Jones, security research analyst with Arbor Networks' ASERT. In the never-ending search for new DDoS malware families, ASERT's malware corral processed over 2 million samples in 2012. In this talk we will share some details on a handful of lesser-known bots, what the bot does to an infected host and what the DDoS attack traffic looks like. While names like HOIC, Dirt Jumper, and Brobot are familiar in the infosec media, we will cover new ones such as DarkDDoser, Paradise, and Athena.
