It looks to be a bunch of brush splatters rotated in a circle. There are tons of free splatter brush sets out there. It can be done in PS or Illustrator. Just depends on which one you are comfortable with. Just google splatter brushes and that should get you what you need.

Also for a lot of years I was a paying member to Action Illustrated,, you will find all those brushes in there and can buy individual for $10.00 each.. New Illustrator, I think from CS6 you can paint with your own brushes.. Also Sullyman, contributer on here offered great set of those brushes for sale.. I bought them $35.00.. saves hours.. they really work well, he is easy to deal with and will help you through the loading process.. Lot of help available.. just get your compass and go looking
