So, just what is Kneber? Many reports have called it *THE* ZeuS botnet.
But really… it's just *A* ZeuS based botnet, dubbed Kneber because of the name used to register many of its domains.
And so what is ZeuS? Well, ZeuS is a kind of do it yourself toolkit for building botnets. We call it Zbot. Our first samples of Zbot/ZeuS date back to October 2007.
"Sadly, this botnet documented by NetWitness is neither unusual nor new. For the past several years at any given time, the number of distinct ZeuS botnets has hovered in the hundreds. At the moment, there nearly 700 command-and-control centers online for ZeuS botnets all over the world, according to ZeuStracker, a Web site that keeps tabs on the global threat from ZeuS."
