Phalanx attains Slashdot fame!
I’m not sure if many people read this blog, but I recently noticed that the UW project Phalanx (slides, paper, and poster available from Colin Dixon’s site, recently featured on Slashdot) brought up the idea of countering botnets by setting up neutral (‘white-hat’ was tossed around in the /. comments) botnets to negate the adverse effects.
Any thoughts on this? It’s a curiously fun conceptualization, but could this potentially be just digging a bigger grave for the internet?
