Day in the Life of the Internet Storm Center

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the jobs-you-don't-want dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Network World Fusion has an article about the Internet Storm Center's inner workings. The writer follows the ISC during the day of the MyDoom-O outbreak (the one that hit Google et al.). The article talks about running W2K in vmware on top of SuSe Linux. A practice very common in malware analysis to isolate yourself from various ill effects of the malware. Other open source software receiving a mention in the article is everybodies favorite packet analyzer Ethereal."

    Set the boot priority to boot the hard drive first and password protect the BIOS. That'll make it harder for them to mess things up!
