Big damn botnet Posted on September 10, 2007 by Robin The Storm botnet is now sending around 2 billion emails per day, has around 30,000 computers hosting the webpage that is linked to in the email, runs at around 10% capacity and blasts anybody who starts looking at it with a massive DOS. This thing can take down just around everything (allthough it doesn’t seem to be doing so) and is way more powerful than the world’s most powerful supercomputers. The article focusses on the DOS power of Storm, but what if it started doing some more interesting stuff like curing cancer, running folding at home or something? Pretty amazing – it’s not the first of April, is it? Robin razor@edgarbv.com https://www.edgarbv.com
