BotNets

What are BotNets?

A Botnet is a collection of software agents, or robots, that run autonomously and automatically. The term is most commonly associated with malicious software, but it can also refer to a network of computers using distributed computing software. In simple terms, the bots will use your website as a base to infect other websites, most likely getting your own website shut down or black listed by all major search engines and email servers. BotNets are next to impossible to test for but we do provide a large number of fake botnet attacks on your server to ensure that any attempts have minimal affects.

Different types of BotNet Attacks

Adware & Spyware

Adware is typically inserted into an organisations database of static files, allowing third party illegal vendors to attempt to sell most likely illegal substances or services through your websites brand. This can cause reputation disapproval.

Spyware

Spyware is one of the more serious security concerns. Spyware waits and filters any data the bots can get there hands on. This can lead to the capture of user credentials, sensitive personal data and even simple usage patterns which can assist a hacker to make further advances. Again these bots are hard to find but our system will attempt to place a harmless bot onto the networked server.

DoS(Denial of Service)

DoS(Denial of Service) attacks are most common. This involves thousands of con-current requests to your website causing the system to become slow and possible show loop holes.
