Re: Botnets, IRC servers and firewalls?

I've yet to see a business need for BotNet clients to run successfully ;)

Perhaps application filtering for the Drone control protocol?

Drone armies, although massive are nothing special.

They are usually built of the same 2-4 Trojan horses that are big at that time.

Filtering the traffic for their control protocol, on whatever port, or their repetetive echo commands/ special connections to IRC servers under certain IRC names or nickname/ident/name pattern-combinations is pretty easy to do when you come to think about it.
