Sign in to savethumb|Stacheldraht botnet diagram showing a DDoS attack (Note this is also an example of a type of client–server model of a botnet.) A botnet is a group of Internet-connected devices, each of which runs one or more bots. Botnets can be used to perform distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, steal data, send spam, and allow the attacker to access the device and its connection. The owner can control the botnet using command and control (C&C) software. The word "botnet" is a portmanteau of the words "robot" and "network". The term is usually used with a negative or malicious connotation.

Botnet is jargon voor een collectie van softwarerobots of bots, die automatisch en zelfstandig opereren. De term wordt vaak geassocieerd met ongewenste software of het automatisch versturen van ongewenste e-mail van computers waarop deze software is geïnstalleerd (spam) maar kan ook refereren aan een netwerk van computers die distributed-computing-software gebruiken, zoals BOINC-software voor zwaar rekenwerk.
