10 Botnet Detection And Removal Best Practices

Botnets are networks of compromised devices, controlled by a malicious actor, that can be used to propagate malware and overwhelm websites. As the IoT market grows exponentially, the need for robust botnet detection and removal becomes critical for digital safety. Botnets typically infect devices through malicious websites, phishing emails, and exploiting software vulnerabilities. Once a device is infected, it becomes part of the botnet and can be used to propagate the malware further. The botmaster establishes control over the compromised devices through a command and control (C2) system.
