Because Rasmus manages a mail server where B2B mail is routinely
sent/received _globally_, Rasmus is the king of finding FPs. I could be
wrong, but judging from previous reports about the Botnet Plugin, I
predict that Rasmus will either (a) find the Botnet Plugin utterly
unusable due to FPs, or (b) only be able to score it by a point or two
due to excessive FPs. (Rasmus--by all means--please don't take my word
for it--try it out and then let us know what happened!)
"Botnet Plugin" sounds like a plugin that detect botnets ... If
Rasmus is finding that many false positives, then he's using the wrong tools.

Is there any way that a more distributed method of delivering
updates could be more resistant to DDOS attacks? E.g.
trackerless bittorrents (DHT), or something along those lines?
Isn't that technology certified for illegal content only? :-)
Sanesecurity could have been better protected against DDOS
attacks. They are a ripe target.
