Understanding Bot Command and Control

Bot Command and Control refers to the centralized server or servers that are responsible for sending commands to a network of compromised computers or devices known as bots, which are typically part of a botnet. Through these commands, threat actors can remotely control the bots to perform malicious activities such as launching DDoS attacks, stealing sensitive information, or spreading malware. The Command and Control infrastructure is critical for attackers to manage and coordinate their botnets efficiently and effectively conduct cyberattacks.
