Shadowserver, king of the hill
When I left Shadowserver in August of 2006, I couldn't have guessed how prime time they were going to turn. With dozens of feature articles on them, nearly anyone who has ever worked on botnets knows the name.
Today they added a new virus stats page to their site, proudly showing the world that they are not only the king of the botnet monitoring hill, but they are also the king of the malware collection hill!
Shadowserver is reporting they have over 566k malicious binaries, with the anti-virus software from AntiVir catching an amazing 95.58% of those binaries! (thats 541730!)
They're also monitoring over 1320 botnets and over 2.2 million drones.
I'm told they are putting this data to good use too, by notifying ISP's, law enforcement and others involved in the fight. I look forward to whitepapers, tools, and raw data that they're bound to release soon!
