About The Project

Botnet occurs commonly in today's cyber attacks, resulting in serious threats to our network assets and organization's properties. Botnets are collections of compromised computers (Bots) which are remotely controlled by a common command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure which is used to distribute commands to the Bots for malicious activities such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, sending large amount of SPAM and other nefarious purposes.
This tool can be used to simulate a botnet and control all the Bots by a single CLI offered by C&C. Using the CLI you can tell Bots to perform a bunch of cyber attacks:

• DDoS
• send email batch
• spoof software/hardware info about Bot
