The Rustock Botnet Takedown

Presented at Black Hat USA 2011, Aug. 3, 2011, 1:45 p.m. (75 minutes)

The Rustock botnet operated for several years, and at several times was the largest operating botnet on Earth sending spam emails. This talk covers the history of the botnet, and the most recent shutdown of it instigated by researchers (Operation b107). The techniques used can be generalized to the takedown of other botnets.
