Botnet new generation skip to P2P


A Botnet is a collection of computers controlled remotely by a person (usually via a Trojan horse), owners of infected computers rarely know that their computer is used forfraudulent transactions (DDoS, Spam, Phishing, malware distribution, etc..).

In general, a central server control these zombie computers. So just find that server andto cut off Internet access to stop sending new instructions to machines pirated.

Yes but now landed a new kind of Botnet: those that use the principle of Peer2Peer.


       THOR is a Botnet developing that will soon be available for sale ($ 8000 anyway),because this kind of crap is able to report a lot of money to unscrupulous people who use them, and it attracts many customers willing to pay well to have such tools.

The main problem with THOR is that there is no central control point: the use of P2P is adecentralized botnet, very difficult to stop with simple measures of controlling the accessclosures of zombie computers, it also makes it very difficult to track down pirates who use it, since there will be virtually millions of access points to send new commands to the botnet, and it will be almost impossible to trace the original source ...

Communications between each instance of THOR are increasingly encrypted using a256-bit AES or something nearly impossible to decode without having the encryption keys.

This Botnet the future will be sold with modules to easily launch DDoS attacks, sending massive emails, saving passwords and data entered on the keyboard of infected machines ...

Hopefully a parade will be found quickly to what promises to be a real nuisance for personal computers connected to the Internet.
