"Give us some feedback when you can!"Will do. I'll get it running on a machine that's plugged into a span port on one of our more centralized switches. I'll also give it a try in our DMZ.

“Oh really....just damn!”
If it helps any, BotHunter is apparently real, but the reference I looked at said it is Linux only.

Well,...I first saw the note at Distrowatchweekly and then went googling and found the article at Antispyware...I think the links to Bothunter are legit....
To: Old Student
I do know for a fact antispyware.com is a spyware site, had to clean it off my wife's computer several weeks ago. PITA, I tell you! Google “remove antispyware.com”, and I think that will get you to several sites that detail the process.
I am using McAfee AV these days, on my father-in-law's recommendation. He's an engineer and programmer, and although I don't much like him, I respect h### out of his recommendations, and McAfee warns you of troublesome websites. Like this one.

Re: bots on Macs
I am very skeptical about the claims of finding ‘bots on Macs. If this were true we would have heard of it before. Developing a major app like this with so many cross platform and cross processor ( both Intel AND PowerPC?) for simutaneous release is not an easy task. I cannot believe that these Mac spambots have somehow been overlooked by Secunia, Symantec, et al. It sounds like FUD to me.
I’m on my iPhone right now but I’ll ping the Mac list when I get home later today.
