DESCRIPTION:Botnets and DDoS\, these words are never too far apart. However
 \, DDoS is just the tip of the iceberg for what botnets are actually used 
 for in the cybercrime community. Money talks - and botnets are the supply 
 side of cybercrime that drive multiple different campaigns like phishing\,
  exploit kit delivery\, adware and banking trojans.\n\nThis talk uncovers 
 the complex structure of cybercrime and how most criminal campaigns are li
 nked to botnets as their supply and delivery mechanism. We will explore th
 e economy of cybercrime and calculate in figures the amount of money renti
 ng a botnet or building a botnet can profit cybercriminals. You will learn
  exactly how and what botnets are used for outside DDOS and you will walk 
 away understanding how phishing/spam emails or banking trojans link back t
 o botnets. Afterall\, how can you protect against criminals without unders
 tanding them? \n\nFinally\, I will present my Crime Economy map which I’
 ve designed that maps out the hierarchy and the revenue streams derived fr
 om hiring botnets to run coordinated campaigns. This aims to assist blue t
 eams have a better understanding about the criminals they’re protecting 
 against.
