Avoid Email Spam and Beat the Spammers

When malware spammers get out of control, what’s the best thing to do?

Call in the US Army, perhaps?

A free malware-detector called BotHunter, sponsored by the US Army Research Office, “works so well that it has even found infected Mac computers, much to the embarrassment of the Mac owners who, of course, swear that their computers cannot be infected with bots,” SC Magazine quotes Marcus Sachs, director at SANS Internet Storm Center, as saying.

And there have been 35,000 downloads so far, the story has Phillip Porras, program director of enterprise and infrastructure security at SRI International, a research and technology organization, and lead developer of the BotHunter project, saying.

“It works so well that it has even found infected Mac computers, much to the embarrassment of the Mac owners who, of course, swear that their computers cannot be infected with bots,” Marcus Sachs, director at SANS Internet Storm Center, told SCMagazineUS.com Tuesday in an email.

BotHunter was funded through a Cyber-Threat Analytics research grant from the US Army Research Office, says SC Magazine, adding:

“It reportedly helps Windows, Mac and Linux users detect malware-infected hosts on their networks by tracking interactions that typically occur when a PC is infected with malware, Porras said. The tool will generate an infection profile with all the forensic evidence that was gathered.

“The infection profile report will then allow users to determine which machines on the network are acting like they are infected. The tool anonymizes infection profiles and passes them back to SRI, where they go into a repository that is used to help generate new threat intelligence.”
