SecurityFocus's "Attacking the Attackers"

There are a couple of very good, very hard to understand, articles on SecurityFocus's web site about fighting back against hackers. The articles are titled Malicious Malware: Attacking the Attackers, Part One, and Part Two. But can I tell you, they were so far over my head they could've been written in Chinese and I wouldn't know any more than I did when I started. However, the more technically proficient among you may learn something valuable. That you can then bring back to my site to help me catch my own bad guys. :-)
