A Botnet by Any Other Name
Gunter Ollmann, 2009-05-01

The news has been awash the last few weeks with fears over globe-spanning botnets and their criminal intent: Conficker managed to hog the limelight for well over a month, and then came Finjan's disclosure of a previously unknown — and currently unnamed — botnet consisting of some 1.9 million malicious agents.

it is understandable that we can not name a botnet due to it's nature to mutate...
the question we have to ask our self as a security research industry is if we learned something from decade of A/V battle on naming conventions.

does the Botnet Research community is going to build a common database that will allow Botnet information exchange between the different providers of such information?
