Malware Threat Center (daily updates)

SRI International, an independent nonprofit research and development organization, today announced the launch of the Malware Threat Center, a website dedicated to fighting malware.

SRI's Malware Threat Center posts daily updates of firewall filters, malware-related domain name system (DNS) names, antivirus statistics, intrusion detection system (IDS) signatures, and malware binary data to help network administrators understand current and emerging computer security threats and provide key network defense information that can be configured into security products to help network administrators fend off the latest malware threats.

The Malware Threat Center (MTR) is a community service Internet site that is built using data produced from the Cyber-TA Honeynet Project (www.cyber-ta.org/Honeynet).
