Tips & Warnings

  • Bots can take complete control of your computer remotely, without your knowledge. Using command and control (C&C) sent from a bot-herder to control your computer, it will then participate in a network called a "Botnet."
  • Botnets have massive computing power and can attack web servers to infect additional computers. By using remote-controlled computers, criminals remain anonymous and elude authorities that seek to prosecute them.
