Malware researchers actively exploit and alter the characteristics of
large botnets so that you can never trust the numbers.  Who's to say I
didn't install 100 copies in my virtual lab for personal research :-).
Additionally, if you can take over the command station, you win.  The
problem is that much of the protocols are encrypted.  The trick is to
find a vuln and use it against the botnet to deactivate it, or at
least, shrivel it a bit...hehe
