On Fast Flux Service Networks
Interesting paper up over at Honeynet.
FFS Networks rely on a small core group of black motherships behind a layer of hijacked-home-front end systems that are constantly rapidly swapping out IP addresses to deliver illicit content.
This is an evolution from having to hijack and host their content on multiple servers – a conflict that is now revolving around ever shortening response times.
In the FFS model, the content remains in one location and users are simply redirected to it via constantly shifting routes.
