What “botnet” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediabotnet/ˈbɒtnɛt/
- nounA collection of compromised computers that is gradually built up and then unleashed as a DDOS attack or used to send very large quantities of spam.
A botnet is a group of Internet-connected devices, each of which runs one or more bots. Botnets can be used to perform distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, steal data, send spam, and allow the attacker to access the device and its connection. The owner can control the botnet using command and control (C&C) software. The word "botnet" is a portmanteau of the words "robot" and "network". The term is usually used with a negative or malicious connotation.
