Catching up

Hi folks,

Firstly, let us apologize for not blogging more frequently. The last couple of weeks have been tumultuous with some things we can discuss, and some we cannot.

Here's a summary...

(1) Dangerous searches still abound. Here are a few examples from the last day or two...

Robert Cleridge women's shoes - wrong choice gets a link to a known rootkitter

Wallpapers - wrong choice gets a WebAttacker

Janet Jackson photos - duh!

download constrained regression nonlinear - one might argue that a query that geeky deserves an exploit, except that we're all proud geeks here, so we cannot.

(2) The Storm botnet attacks have been unfolding in relentless waves. We cannot talk too much about that at the moment, except to say they've been very interesting and quite impressive.

(3) There are now at least six different exploit packs being sold ala WebAttacker. It seems to be an idea that is Catching On (tm). We'll write more about them over the next week or so.

Cheers

Roger
