The World's Biggest Botnets
ancientribe writes "There's a new peer-to-peer based botnet emerging that could blow the notorious Storm away in size and sophistication, according to researchers, and it's a direct result of how Storm has changed the botnet game, with more powerful and wily botnets on the horizon. This article provides a peek at the 'new Storm' and reveals the three biggest botnets in the world (including Storm) — and what makes them tick and what they are after."
Or if everyone donated their CPU time to botnets!
My UID is prime... is yours?

From the look of things, it appears that their sole purpose is to send me myspace friend requests from lonely, hot girls that have Tom as their only friend, and have selected me as the lucky person who gets to share in viewing their private, personal website, which has many photos of their naked breasts and vagina. Seriously.
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
In Soviet Russia botnets donate cpu time to you.
Well thankfully I run Windows, which is inherently more secure than your "open source" systems. These botnet creators can look right inside your operating systems and see the vulnerabilities, whereas with Windows...
I installed Storm on my computer and I've never been happier. Downloads are quicker, my mortgage has been refinanced, I made a fortune in the stock market, and my cock is 2 inches longer.
excellent botnet-er, would bot again++++!++!
So the world's largest networked super computer runs Windows. It is sad really, all these hundreds of millions of computers on the planet - half of them sending spam for the other half to filter out. One would think that there should be something slightly more useful for them to do.
Excuse me, but please get off my Pennisetum Clandestinum, eh!
I'd feel a lot safer if you could get selinux to work on Windows...

It's a well-known fact that SELinux was developed to confound hackers. It is a less-known fact that the trick is to try to get them to install it.
I see your informative link, and raise you a pithy comment.
You see this is exactly why Windows is winning. Linux is still yet to provide a credible botnet to face off against the Windows botnet. There's just no comparison, Windows wins every time!
This is my footer. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Botnets and I cannot lie... :)
