Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Rustock botnet (founded around 2006) is a botnet that consists of an estimated 150,000 computers and is capable of sending around 30 billion spam messages a day (each infected PC is capable of sending an estimated 25,000 messages a day). Reported estimates on its size vary greatly across different sources, with claims that the botnet may be anywhere between 150,000 to 2,400,000 machines. The size of the botnet is increased and maintained mostly through self-propagation, where the botnet sends a large amount of malicious e-mails in the hopes of infecting its receivers with a trojan which will then turn the receiver into a part of the botnet.
