What Is a Botnet?

Chunga is asking for Tom's help. He's wondering about something and he feels like it's something that he should already know about. He's also curious to know if this is something that everyone claims to understand but in reality, experts are more like him, and they don't understand as well as they should. In this episode of The Hacks, Chunga asks "what is a botnet"? Botnets have been mentioned a lot in the news lately. The FBI has caught and shut down two major Russian botnets just in the past week! Tom knows a ton about botnets and gives a full rundown about what they are, how they operate, and IF they're actually as dangerous as the media would have us believe. Listen now!
