FAST FLUX HOSTING

Use of fast-flux techniques to disguise the location of Web sites or other Internet services, or to avoid detection and mitigation efforts, or to host illegal activities.

Fast flux hosting may be used only with prior permission of PIR;

BOTNET COMMAND AND CONTROL

Services run on a domain name that are used to control a collection of compromised computers or "zombies," or to direct denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks);
