Abstract

“ I was recently sent a .pcap file of a bot's C&C communications. Every 182 seconds, the bot would download a GIF file from vazasaki-ji.info (91.211.65.180 as of Mar 11, 2009). These GIF files however are not well-formed — that is to say, it's a GIF89a header, followed by a lot of random gibberish.
