Exploring Botnets: Detection Techniques, Botnet Attack and Future Prospects

Botnets are a significant concern to cybersecurity because they are able to carry out attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) and data theft by utilising complex structures and infection techniques. A comprehensive examination of the botnet lifecycle is presented here, covering topics such as attack strategies, infection techniques, and detection methods. Emerging architectures, Internet of Things vulnerabilities, and encrypted traffic are some of the difficulties that are brought to light by this. The research highlights the importance of scalable, adaptable, and privacy-preserving solutions by offering an analysis of the methodologies that are already in use.
