A botnet is a network of devices infected with malware software that allows an attacker to control them remotely. This allows the attacker to use the network of devices to perform various actions, such as launching Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, spreading spam and malware, or stealing sensitive information. Botnets are often created by hacking into devices with weak security features or by tricking users into downloading the malware onto their device. The use of botnets is illegal and can result in significant damage to individuals and organizations.
