Botnet
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
A botnet is a collection of computers that have been infected with viruses. Well known fuck-me-over botnets are: MyDoom, Blaster, Storm Worm, AIDS, and SQL Slammer. When a faggot makes a botnet, he typically steals Rbot or RxBot code from http://www.vxchaos.2hell.com . Only n00bz use that shit. Botnets are capable of many things:
- Fucking you over.
- Taking your internets.
- Making you look like a criminal (Wiki "NetBus")
- Stealing CP.
- Making you and thousands of others pwn someone
- Stealing your 'nfo
- DDoS
- ????
- PROFIT!!!
Most of the time, a botnet is used to DDoS a site. When some one issues a command, it's usually through IRC. When a faggot decides to DDoS the net, on R/xBot platforms, he issues: .ddos.random internet 60. That takes down the internet, providing he has 29493939493843937984739348.34 Commodore 64's.
The unknown, yet largest botnet to date, is the "Storm botnet." Storm has achieved a record of 1.7Million bots on Semptember, 2007. This botnet attacked a Republican website for lulz, generating 5 gigabytes of traffic a second against the site. Fried chips, anyone?
That's about all I can tell you before I get DDoS'd/Patriot Act on my ass.
