There are currently major experimental efforts for direct and indirect detection of dark matter particle(s). Indirect searches with neutrino telescopes like IceCube probe the neutrino flux arising from the annihilation of gravitationally trapped dark matter particles in Sun and Earth. After a brief introduction, I will give a general discussion of the indirect detection of dark matter via neutrino final states. Then I will present the predicted IceCube signal of a realistic and minimal model that we recently proposed to explain the excess of positron flux as observed by the PAMELA experiment. Finally I will discuss the possibility of using IceCube to distinguish different classes of dark matter models.
