Abstract

Botnet term was coined when multiple networks of bots came into existence. It is a number of Internet-connected devices, which runs single or multiple bots. Botnets can be used to perform Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, steal data, Ransomware, send spams, and allow attackers to gain unauthorised access on devices and its connections. Command and control(C&C) software are used by the Owner (BotMaster) to control the botnet. This paper explores the survey conducted on botnet and its detection techniques.
