Botnets of the Web - How to Hijack One

Presented at Kiwicon 7: Cyberfriends (2013), Nov. 10, 2013, 4 p.m. (30 minutes).

A relatively small but also somewhat unknown type of botnets are automatically attacking web servers and joining them together into a classic C&C botnet. These bots are flawed by design and often use code from each other, thus the same types of flaws are consistent among almost all bots encountered. This presentation dives into finding these botnets, what the flaws in these bots are, how to exploit them, and a live demo.
