Questions tagged [botnet]

A botnet is a collection of internet-connected programs communicating with other similar programs in order to perform tasks.

A botnet's tasks can be as mundane as keeping control of an IRC channel, or it could be used to send spam email or participate in DDoS attacks. The word botnet stems from the two words robot and network.
