“Putting aside hype and advertising, every news we get
about new developments usually plays with our sense of wonder. It’s
a common thing to admire the way someone solved what was previously
a limitation. The funny thing is this can be true even when faced
with things we normally consider evil, because we can see that the
application of the technology is different from the way it was
used.“This happened to me while researching data about how to detect
if your computers are members of botnets. I came upon a series of
data that appears to be a timeline of bot control methods, and I
can say it is great to see how the apparent generations work. Let
me tell you a little story about it.”
