Bot Net: We Are Anonymous We Are Legion We Do Not Forgive We Do Not Forget Expect Us!

A botnet is a collection of internet-connected devices infected with malicious software, allowing a remote attacker to control these devices. Botnets can consist of thousands of compromised computers or "zombie computers". They are often used to conduct distributed denial-of-service attacks and spread spam. Mobile devices can also potentially be infected and used in botnets if they synchronize with infected computers or update operating systems. Users should be cautious of anonymous apps they install.

bot is a type of malware which allows an attacker to gain complete control over the affected computer. There are literally tens of thousands of computers on the Internet which are infected with some type of bot and dont even realize it.

Botnet came from Robot Network, Means an organized automated army of zombies. Which can be used for creating a Ddos attack as well as spammy actions of flooding any inbox or spreading the viruses.

Actually this army consists of large number of

compromised computers.
These computers are compromised using

Well,

in this way mobiles can also be vulnerable to such attacks, as often we synchronize mobiles with computers or else we update there OS also. I think its possible to harm mobiles also and to steal confidential information as described above in points. Therefore the users of the mobiles must be conscious enough to check those anonymous applications which they are installing.

Spam

mail Social medias as per Netwitness' report Facebook, Yahoo, Hi5, Metroflog, Sonico and Netlog. Crack files

Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks (DDoS) Spamming Sniffing Traffic & Key logging Infecting New Hosts Identity Theft Attacking IRC Chat Networks

Hosting of Illegal Software Google Ad Sense Abuse & Advertisement Add ons Manipulating online polls Remote use of computers Attacking bank computers (Atm or any others since they are also networked)

Using
