DIY Command & Control For Fun And *No* Profit

This talk is called "DIY Command & Control For Fun And *No* Profit" because many security professionals have heard about Command & Control botnets, even more have been infected by them. Very few have had the opportunity to actually look inside the server control panel of a C&C. This mainly hands - on presentation will walk you through a very dark corner of the Internet and provide a glimpse of the daily life of a cybercriminal. Live malware will be used during this presentation so make sure you turn off your Wi-Fi.
