An Amazing Look at the Conficker Worm.

If they were to utilize just a fraction of the computing power of all the bots...

Imagine if they actually harnessed that power for good. In a similar vein to Folding@home, they could find the cure for cancer in a timely manner. I'd find that end result ethical if ends actually justified the means.

Also, Lenny, you crack me up. "If you spam this thread, I will be on you like a ton of bricks."

Imagine how much money they could make doing stuff like that.

Huhuhu~
They could also do crazier things, like make robots, if it's really possible. With all those computers, so much information is... it's like having every page on wikipedia open at the same time and reading all of them.

I thought about the folding thing as well, but couldn't it also be used in an attack to overload the security things on like NORAD, or whatever the government's computer thing is? Like an epic brute force attack or something?

That seems entirely feasible.

I believe there was a spanish(maybe mexican, I don't remember) commander, or something, who used a full brute force attack, and it worked. Though it may seem stupid, brute force may work, when amazing tactics fall short.
