1 Million Linux Kernels Booted for Vast Botnet Simulation (Linux Insider)

Linux Insider covers an experiment at Sandia National Laboratories. "Computer security researchers still don't know much about how botnets work. At Sandia National Laboratories, though, scientists are preparing for a massive experiment. They've booted up 1 million Linux kernels as virtual machines, which will allow them to observe the behavior of a simulated network of 10 million computers online at once -- complete with users who get infected with botnets."
