Zombie Botnets
Simple Definition for Beginners:
Zombie botnets are networks of infected computers or devices that are controlled by hackers without the knowledge of their owners. These compromised devices can be used to carry out cyberattacks, send spam emails, or perform other malicious activities.
Common Use Example:
Hackers use zombie botnets to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by flooding target servers with a massive volume of traffic from the infected devices.
Technical Definition for Professionals:
Zombie botnets are large networks of compromised computers, servers, or IoT devices that have been infected with malware and are under the control of malicious actors. Key aspects of zombie botnets include:
- Infection: Devices become part of a zombie botnet after being infected by malware, typically through phishing emails, software vulnerabilities, or malicious downloads.
- Control: Botmasters, or hackers, remotely control the zombie botnet using command and control (C&C) servers, issuing instructions for malicious activities.
- Purpose: Zombie botnets are used for various malicious activities, including DDoS attacks, spam distribution, data theft, cryptocurrency mining, and spreading further malware.
- Detection and Mitigation: Detecting and mitigating zombie botnets require advanced cybersecurity measures, such as network monitoring, intrusion detection systems, and botnet-specific defense mechanisms.
