[Full-disclosure] what can be done with botnet C&C's?

Good point. At this time, we are not yet at completion as stated, but
something that could be done for the benefit of others once we have
completed the install and taken into account the amount spent vs. gained as
you stated. I will look to getting something to everyone once our experience
is complete.

Thanks,

Jordan

Something that would probably help a *lot* (and get some publicity for
yourself and your shop while you're at it :) is to do up a short
presentation or paper discussing what the total aggregate payoff ends up
being.  Being able to point at "This company spent $yyyK doing X, Y and Z,
and achieved a total net savings of $x.xM/year" is quite useful when trying
to explain to other sites why they should clean up their networks....
