Abstract
A botnet is a network of compromised machines remotely controlled by an attacker. Over the past two decades, the modus operandi of botnets has evolved to facilitate a wide array of attacks ranging from stealthy exfiltration of sensitive data to large-scale Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. As a result, botnets have emerged as one of the biggest threats to the Internet ecosystem.
