syngress was kind enough to allow me to post the chapter i wrote for botnets: the killer web application here as a free sample.

it is the third chapter in the book, and requires some prior knowledge of what a botnet c&c (command and control) is. it is basic, short, and to my belief covers quite a bit. it had to be short, as i had just 5 days to write it while doing other things, and not planning on any writing, but it is pretty good in my completely unbiased opinion.

you can download it from this link:

for the full book, you would need to spend the cash.

enjoy!
