Welcome to the BotHunter Software Distribution Page!

BotHunter is a passive network monitoring tool designed to recognize the communication patterns of malware-infected computers within your network perimeter.  Using an advanced infection-dialog-based event correlation engine (patent pending), BotHunter represents the most in-depth network-based malware infection diagnosis system available today.

NEW: We've just added a BotHunter Community Forum: Forum.BotHunter.Net

Your system should have a modern Intel Pentium-class or Motorola PowerPC processor, at least 1 GB RAM, and at least 1 Ethernet NIC/WIC (for network monitoring).
