    What is a Botnet ? A botnet (robot network) is a network of compromised computers, servers, IoT devices, and other internet-connected devices (bots or zombies) controlled remotely by an attacker (botmaster or bot herder). Each bot is infected with malware that allows the botmaster to issue commands via Command & Control (C2 or C&C ) servers. Botnets are used to perform large-scale cyberattacks ...

    4. Use sinkholing to study botnets and contain threats: Instead of blocking all botnet traffic immediately, redirect suspicious traffic to a controlled sinkhole server. This allows you to observe the botnet's C&C communication patterns and gather intelligence on infrastructure, malware distribution, and attacker motives. 5.

    About the Data The Spamhaus Botnet Controller List (BCL) is a specialized, advisory "drop all traffic" list. It consists of IP addresses that are actively used by cybercriminals to control malware-infected computers (bots). This is a high-confidence list, with false positives being extremely rare, to block as much high-risk, malicious traffic as possible.
