Various forms of malware autopopulate central compromised host 
directories which botnet or drone army operators use to assemble their 
lists... I've found these to be particularly useful in defending against 
criminal prosecutions of persons whose Windows boxes were added to such 
lists during a time period in which computer forensic evidence found in 
their possession appears to incriminate their computer (and by 
extension, the computer owner) as a tool of the alleged crime.

I'd like a better history of compromised hosts for this purpose, and 
suggest that botnet operators be required to publish their logs. ;-)
