A pretty interesting read on "other" uses for DDoS attacks and botnets:
During his presentation, Nazario covered the major political DDoS events from the past 10 years, starting with DDoS attacks focused on NATO during the Kosovo campaign through the recent past’s events in Georgia. One can conclude from the presentation that the attacks are either being enacted by non-regular militias and citizen armies that are being motivated by central governments or by grassroots groups protesting a significant geopolitical touchstone, such as the outcome of certain events in the Olympics. The story that was the most surprising to me was the ease of use of the tools used to wage the attacks.
