Re: BBN botnet detection efforts?

Nope - sounds like another siloed research team with no knowledge of  
the current state of the art or of ongoing efforts and the history  
and context behind them.

If anyone has contacts at BBN, it would probably be a good idea to  
reach out to them and work on bringing them into the fold.

UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because
that would also stop you from doing clever things.
