Microsoft announced yesterday on a Russian newspaper for a reward of $250,000 to whoever gives an information for the arrest and conviction of Rustock Botnet individuals who are involved. The botnet who infected over 1.6M IP addresses on March 2011 was a big threat to everyone and Microsoft focused on taking it down (Operation b107) and reduced 56.12% from March to June 2011.

I just think these guys are another bunch of teenagers who live on their garage with a computer and an internet just like the kid who took down amazon or ebay with a DDoS attack. But these guys are much more into money than fun. They use their infected computers to send spam emails for viagra products or anything they would earn money from any products.


Rustock was coded so good that top anti-viruses won’t even notice the trojan’s arrival. It just sits down on your PC for a couple of days (more…)

UnixCoD is a security testing software. It scans C range IP Adresses for SSH weak username and passwords using brute force method. Its latest public version is 0×10 (2005) made by Ghost Kilah. Used to be a private scanner but somehow leaked and became public. The 2007 version is not finished yet and still on development by Sadox and Ghost kilah. Click the picture below to see a sneak peak on the UnixCoD v2.7.0 (Kraken) both only available for nix* systems. (more…)
