Botnets: What are they and how to detect-- Sureswaran Ramadass (Univ Sains Malaysia, Malaysia)

Abstract: Botnets have become a major treat in the security of the Internet today. Botnets can be classified uner 3 categories:

The Spam Bots,
the Attack Bots and
the Military Bots

How do we discover Bots and Botnets. How do we track Bot Herders and how can we stop such attacks.

Precise Time-Stamping for Network Monitoring--Akihiko Machizawa, Haruo Saito, Tsukasa Iwama (NICT, Japan)

Abstract: One-way delay of a packet shows its dynamics along the network path. Precise time-stamping is required to analyze what occurs in the network. Network usage can be estimated by using distribution of one-way delay. Some strange phenomenons, delay oscillation in FTTH and clock hiccups in ADSL, are introduced. The one-way delays also include the clock errors of both end. Furthermore, progresses of network time synchronization and time-stamping techniques are also summarized. Finally, problems around the leap second are explained.

Deploying anti-spam technologies (remote presentation 17:10 - 17:30)--Kazuhiko Yamamoto (IIJ, Japan)

Abstract: To decrease massive spam messages, a set of anti-spam technologies including Submission port, SMTP auth, OP25B (Outbound Port 25 Blocking), domain authentication, are being deployed. This tutorial first describes a roadmap to deploy such technologies then focuses on SPF (Sender Policy Framework), one of domain authentication mechanisms. The tutor want to share experience of anti-spam activities in Japan with the audience. The audience should be familiar with messages systems.
