With the student machines, anything is possible.

However we're killing IRC traffic going through our packetshaper execept for
3 or 4 students who requested that they could use IRC.

I believe most of the bots work via IRC.

Hi Gary,

We'd definitely be interested in your SNORT sig for bots phoning home;
I'm sure we've got an (un)healthy number of those floating around :-(.
