Abstract
Malware has come a long way since it consisted mostly of small-scale (if prolific) nuisances perpetrated by script kiddies. Today, it's increasingly being created by professional programmers and managed by international criminal organizations. This talk will look at the methods and technology employed by the professional malware industry, which is turning out "product" that matches or exceeds the sophistication of standard commercial software, but with far more sinister applications.
