Hawkeye Security Training is proud to host the official website of "Botnets-The Killer Web App" published by Syngress. Our President, Craig A Schiller, CISSP-ISSMP, ISSAP is the primary author of this, the first book available on the subject of Botnets. He assembled an international team of experts to create the most authoritative source possible.

Co-author Jim Binkley (Professor of Computer Science at Portland State University) shares his experiences turning a network monitoring tool into a world class IRC botnet detection tool. He then shows you how to do the same.
Collaborating author Gadi Evron (Beyond Security) is probably the most recognized name associated with Botnet intelligence and response in the world today. Gadi contributed a chapter on comand and control alternatives to IRC.
Carsten Willems, a PhD candidate at University of Mannheim, contributed a chapter on the use of sandbox technology to analyze malicious code associated with botnets. The CWSandbox is available to use free on the Internet.
