When people make the stupid decision of buying bots. One minute they're there, the next they're not.
or sometimes they're not there at all

your botnet can be sinkholed in less then a minute if the person knows what they're doing. Microsoft seized a 1 million node p2p botnet (zeroaccess) and they did the same to kelihos. A botnet can be killed in a matter of seconds if someone seizes the domains/servers the botnet uses. Even p2p botnets can be peer poisoned and taken down.

The fastest I saw one go down was on a modded irc server that blocked everybody but bots and commanders. The admin of the datacenter logged in got kicked instantly and shut the server down. LOL. Was up about 1 week. Lucky the bots had backup domain algorithms so it took just a few minutes to recover them.

Yeah anyone who's building a botnet should always set it up on a domain / DNS so the IP can be changed whenever. Also best to make sure you always have backup domains / DNS's.

I had about 800 routers and set a flood for 300 seconds. They pinged out and never came back.
