Abstract
We would like to express a word of gratitude for the opportunity, the University of Amsterdam and SURFnet gave us, to conduct our research project. We want to thank our supervisors Ir. R. Spoor and Dr. W. Biemolt for their time and effort guiding us through the project. They were always willing to help us and gave us the possibility to use SURFnet’s infrastructure. Without their aid, we couldn’t have completed our research. Also a word of thanks to the following persons for supplying us with files, information and advice: Nicolas Albright (Disog.org), Dr. Chato H. Flores and Dr. Jose Nazario (Arbor Networks). We gave SURFnet and the University of Amsterdam a deeper insight in the detection of Peacomm and decentralized peer-to-peer botnets in general. SURFnet can use this knowledge to successfully identify the threat of P2P botnets, now and in the future. We gave our vision on the future and the technological possibilities these botnets have. These botnets are growing each day, and it is very scary what a botnet herder could do with all the bandwidth. As their possibilities seem endless, we don’t think that the Internet society is ready yet to face these malicious acts but we are definitely going in the right direction. All in all, it was a very educational experience and we have learned a lot in a very short time span!
