Abstract
Since the 1990s Internet attacks have seen a great deal of growth in both sophistication and automation. Today, the severity and pace of innovation of attacks threatens to increase much further, as the perpetrators find ways to commercialize their activities and create economic markets in which to conduct them. This talk draws upon experiences from a decade of conducting network security research in a hands-on operational setting at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I will frame the range of real-world constraints that shape the efforts, the deep problem of "evasion", and the successes and challenges of tackling the threat posed by the large-scale compromise of Internet hosts due to automated malware such as worms and botnets.
