Botnet Communication Topologies Understanding the intricacies of botnet Command-and-Control A clear distinction between a bot agent and a common piece of
malware lies within a bot’s ability to communicate with a
Command-and-Control (CnC) infrastructure. CnC allows a bot agent to
receive new instructions and malicious capabilities, as dictated by
a remote criminal entity. This compromised host then can be used as
an unwilling participant in Internet crime as soon as it is linked
into a botnet via that same CnC. |
