Some of the things this month's issue has in store are:

• Worldwide anti-botnet initiatives: 'Germany was the first country to launch a large-scale malware-cleaning project backed by the government.' Sorin Mustaca, Germany

• Vancouver expedition: The 20th VB conference drew to a close last month in the beautiful city of Vancouver. Helen Martin reports on the presentations, games, awards, birthday cakes, and the buzzword of the event: Stuxnet.

• Deelaed learning: Over a period of around three months, new virus writer hh86 produced a handful of viruses using some new techniques - then disappeared without a word. Peter Ferrie details her creations.

• Exploit identification: In previous articles Mark Davis introduced exploit frameworks such as Fragus, Tornado, and others, and described how to analyse them using LAMP/WAMP servers. Here, he walks through a Tornado kit, start to finish, showing the process required to identify exploits in the kit.

• Anti-unpacker tricks - part fourteen: Last year, a series of articles described some tricks that might become common in the future, along with some countermeasures. In this final article of the series we look at anti-unpacking by anti-emulating.

• Letters: Letters to the editor on the relevance of spam feeds and the earning potential of cybercrime.
