Don’t Blame the Industry
Sahar posted a recent article on why domaining sucks. I will be the first to say domaining does not suck although we are going through a slow period (like every other industry at the moment).

Sandboxing

In short, a program designed to detect malware operating off a malware signature-based database is always going to be playing “catch-up” with malware writers who create new malware which is undetectable using the current database.

Combining terms using Excel for domaining
Excel spreadsheets can be very powerful tools when domaining. One of my favorite ways to use them is to collect terms that can be combined with various keywords. I am making a sample file available for free at the end of this post.
