 |  The rise of the Linux botnets Who says botnets are just for stupid Windows people? Kaspersky Lab is warning that the Linux botnet is not only a thing but on the rise. The report said that the share of attacks from Linux botnets almost doubled (to 70 per cent) – and Linux bots are the most effective tool for the SYN-DDoS attack method. This is the first time that Kaspersky DDoS Intelligence has registered such an imbalance between the activities of Linux- and Windows-based DDoS bots. SYN DDoS is one of the most common attack scenarios, but the proportion of attacks using the SYN DDoS method increased 1.4 times compared to the previous quarter and accounted for 76 per cent. http://fudzilla.com/news/41256-the-r...-linux-botnets |
