Using Throttling and Traffic Shaping to Combat Botnet Spam

In this talk, Ken Simpson describes his research into spammer behavior and explains how spammers' impatience can be used for spam suppression. During this talk, you will learn about spammer economics and spammer behavior, get an introduction to connection management, and hear how we have used connection management in some real-world scenarios to reduce spam traffic.
