I start with a sad note and indeed it is a sad one. I recently learned UKBiker a.k.a. Mark Williamson died after a long battle with skin cancer on October 18. He was an all around great guy, stalker of the dark ones, and part of the grass roots movement that has helped stem the tide of malware pushing bastards who seek to subvert the grid. A fitting tribute is here. People are known by their actions and not just words…farewell Mark- Ride on in peace.

But Mark, I don’t think, would want any of us to stand still but to keep battling on…and so we shall.

So Oh noes. Here it is…PaperGhost…and he will be al jacked up comic books, tea and shock memes ala EON8 and who knows what else….

Botnet Live: Tracing, Chasing and Building the Case to Bust the Bad Guys with Chris Boyd, Wayne Porter - FaceTime Security Labs

From the session blurb
(scroll down to the sexily titled HT1-202):

This session will provide an introduction to criminal botnets, a demonstration of botnet tracking and guidance on how to collect key information for law enforcement. Botnets have become delivery vehicles for spyware and adware, and revenue sources for their creators. This presentation will provide in-depth information on fraud strategies, and illustrate the financial impact of click fraud and other methods.

It is well known i like to carry a ballbat and I am not afraid to use it, but Chris Boyd is like a chainsaw on rocket fuel…really. No doubt Obi, PG, and I will end up putting our RSA RFID ridden badges into the microwave to evade the RFID nets they will have setup (and deny), that, our swap them around or something. I am working on a plan.

- Sam if you thought that hellride we spoke about on the podcast (Google Video Ads, Fraud & Black Vans) that I took you on was something frightful…spend a night with this dude chasing down whackjobs and botnets with malware beacheads and you will have pack holy water, crosses, long knives and then stick a fork in your eye and have to snort powedered NoDoze to keep up…don’t forget to evade the damn dynamite.
