The soap opera was the part where someone tried to filter tor traffic
on moral grounds which is obviously not feasible.

It would still be the question what the botnet is for - anonymization
isn't usually the goal. Using a hidden service for C&C access gets you
around all the stuff with fastflux deployment.

Which in turn makes me wonder: How much code change and deployment
would it take to take down (as in 'make inaccessible via the tor
network') a given hidden service?
