Ethical Hacking Questions
A bot, short for "robot," is a software application that performs automated tasks on the internet. In the context of hacking, a bot is often used as a part of a botnet, which is a network of compromised computers or devices controlled by a hacker. These bots can be used to carry out various malicious activities, such as launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, spreading malware, stealing sensitive information, or conducting spam campaigns. The hacker can remotely control the bots to execute commands, allowing them to exploit vulnerabilities, gain unauthorized access, or perform other illicit actions.
