Bad Host categorization
Host or AS (autonomous server) issue comes down to a certain level of semantics and initially crude differentiation – so we will commence with an ‘a b c’ method:
(a) Hosts / Servers / AS of 'infected sites' = - i.e. infected or hacked sites / domains which have bad exploit code, infected iFrame, SQL injections, XSS exploits, etc. to exploit visitors.
(b) Hosts / Servers / AS of 'user infector sites' = i.e. where the malware and rogues are located and more often than not, users are directed to from infections on sites within (a)
(c) Hosts / Servers / AS of 'user receptor sites' = The ultimately very bad = including the so called "the bullet proof servers" masked by the botnets to; receive, trade, pay affiliates, warez, etc. etc. - from (b); stolen IDs, credit cards, bank phishing info, for (a) to pay partners and affiliates to infect the web sites. Also for DDos Botnet C&C (command and control) actions.
