The result of this thesis should be able to build such a signature. In
addition, it can hopefully also extract the information about a botnet
from a given binary, similar to what Norman's Sandbox can do now

At our lab, we are currently building a similar database:
http://www-pi1.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/projects/malware

Unfortunately, most things are currently br0ken since we move to another
server :-/ The nepenthes site has some more information:
http://nepenthes.sourceforge.net/stats and in the near future (TM) we
will hopefully have a central server to which everything can submit his
binaries.
