Originally designed as neutral entities, computerized bots are
increasingly being used maliciously by online criminals in mass
spamming events, fraud, extortion, identity theft, and software
theft. Malicious Bots: An Inside Look into the Cyber-Criminal
Underground of the Internet explores the rise of dangerous bots and
exposes the nefarious methods of "botmasters". This valuable
resource assists information security managers in understanding the
scope, sophistication, and criminal uses of bots. With sufficient
technical detail to empower IT professionals, this volume provides
in-depth coverage of the top bot attacks against financial and
government networks over the last several years. The book presents
exclusive details of the operation of the notorious Thr34t Krew,
one of the most malicious bot herder groups in recent history.
Largely unidentified by anti-virus companies, their bots spread
globally for months, launching massive distributed denial of
service (DDoS) attacks and warez (stolen software distributions).
For the first time, this story is publicly revealed, showing how
the botherders got arrested, along with details on other bots in
the world today. Unique descriptions of the criminal marketplace -
how criminals make money off of your computer - are also a focus of

technical bots. Their work involves advising upper-level government
officials and executives who control some of the largest networks
in the world. By examining the methods of Internet predators,
information security managers will be better able to proactively
