Malicious Malware: Attacking the Attackers
There is a new article on securityfocus from Frederic Raynal and me entitled "Malicious Malware: Attacking the Attackers". In this article, we turn the table and take a look at possible ways to use malware or other offensive options (e.g. fake exploits) to stop an attacker. It's an overview of what we have seen in the past few years in this area and is written in a rather informal style.
Abstract:
This article explores measures to attack those malicious attackers who seek to harm our legitimate systems. The proactive use of exploits and bot networks that fight other bot networks, along with social engineering and attacker techniques are all discussed in an ethical manner. Part one of two.
The second part will be published in the next few days and Fyodor has just released Nmap 4.0.
