Botnets

Botnets are created using a variety of techniques and tools. One common method is through the use of malware, which is malicious software that is designed to infect a computer or device. This malware can be distributed through a variety of methods, including email attachments, social engineering tactics, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or hardware.

Once the malware infects a device, it can then be used to remotely control that device, and potentially other devices that are connected to the same network. This allows the cybercriminal to create a network of infected devices, which is known as a botnet.

Creating Botnets

Botnets can also be created using peer-to-peer networks, which allow devices to communicate with each other directly. This allows the cybercriminal to create a distributed network of infected devices, which can be more difficult to detect and shut down.

In addition to malware and peer-to-peer networks, botnets can also be created using social media and messaging platforms. Cybercriminals can use these platforms to spread malicious links or attachments, which can then infect devices and be used to create a botnet.
