Panda Labs recently claimed to have come across an online app that controls botnets, and not just any app, it is placed pretty good and provides you back certain pretty good info on the botnet, many a PCs, how many are up, where they are, etc. Known as Zunker, it churns out to be a computer management app like no other. Panda Labs has reported that the program can provide botnet creeps easily-accessible graphs of individual botnet performance, like the majority of available compromised “zombies” on every at any one time, and their levels of doings on a daily or monthly basis.
Practically, Zunker is said to sprint, as would any other PC management system not including that the intention of the app is against the law. Panda Software says that Zunker is being utilized to manage and keep an eye on tens of thousands of computers across up to 54 nations, which would let it be bridled by a rather standard botnet. It is claimed that 54% of the computers infested were controlled by it at the time of its detection.
Panda Software’s Luis Corrons, was reported as saying,
The program has been carefully designed and is easy to use. Zunker organizes the bots by country, and shows how many bots there are along with reports from each one, how much spam has been sent and what software has been used by the bots to send the spam (Gmail, IM, forums, etc).
Zunker is touted to be capable of providing botnetters information on the duration of meticulous botnets — how many bug-ridden computers were still being operated — and let files be downloaded to bug-ridden computers to carry out actions ahead of fundamental spam dissemination, like info thievery.
