The shutdown of the McColo Corporation left hundreds of thousands of Bots without a Command and Control server to which to connect. The research team here at HQ decided to look into the fallback mechanism that one of the top Botnets, Srizbi, employed. We assumed that there was a contingency plan that was enacted once the primacy C&C was down for an extended period of time. It appears we were correct in this assumption, but we were shocked, to say the very least, at the implementation. This is part 1 of an N part series about Botnet fallback channels.
