Yesterday we mentioned (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/Using-Friendly-Zombies-To-Fight-DDoS-Attacks-93820) how researchers at the University of Washington have developed a way to use regular PCs (or BitTorrent users) as swarming defense proxies against DDoS attacks. Meanwhile, Dark Reading (http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=151862&f_src=drdaily) notes how European researchers are exploring a solution that not only captures bot binaries and infiltres the P2P network, but also exploits weaknesses in the botnet's P2P protocol to inject "polluted" content into the botnet -- and disrupt communications.
