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, [1] 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. [2]
